CARB Clean Truck Check

Clean Truck Check

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Clean Truck Check program was established to ensure that all vehicles maintain their emissions control systems to reduce pollution and improve air quality. Beginning in January 2025, heavy-duty vehicles operating in California will face penalties if they fail to pass regular inspections administered by credentialed testers with tools approved for use in the Clean Truck Check program.
