CARB TRU Planning for California Fleets

High-level planning points for fleets operating transport refrigeration units in California.

Treat compliance as a planning item

California transport refrigeration work should be planned with CARB reporting, operating labels, fleet turnover timing, and facility expectations in mind. Requirements can depend on equipment type and how the unit operates in California.

Keep documentation close to the unit

Model information, serial numbers, service records, and registration details help installers and fleet managers avoid preventable delays when replacing or changing a unit.

Verify before committing equipment

Before ordering replacement equipment for California lanes, fleets should verify current CARB and EPA requirements with the official agency resources or a compliance professional.
