Stratégies de conformité ACF résilientes et avant-gardistes de TRC.
La règle ACF (Advanced Clean Fleets) du California Air Resources Board (CARB) accélérera l’adoption de véhicules zéro émission (VZE) dans une grande partie de l’industrie du transport commercial de la Californie. La règle de l’ACF exige que les flottes fassent la transition de tous leurs véhicules moyens et lourds exploités en Californie vers les VZE.
L’ACF est entrée en vigueur le 1er octobre 2023, avec la mise en œuvre progressive des dates initiales de conformité et de déclaration pour certaines flottes le 31 décembre 2023.
Votre flotte est-elle prête ? Simplifiez la transition de votre organisation vers les VZE et la conformité ACF avec TRC. Nos praticiens ont mis votre organisation sur la voie de la conformité en identifiant les délais critiques, les obligations de déclaration et les exigences en matière de véhicules.
La règle ACF a une incidence sur les parcs publics, les parcs privés, les véhicules drayage, les maisons de courtage et les entreprises qui concluent des contrats avec des flottes tierces. La règle divise les flottes moyennes et lourdes de la Californie en trois catégories :
Chaque groupe a ses propres critères d’applicabilité, ses exigences de conformité et ses calendriers de mise en œuvre qui diffèrent selon le type de flotte.
Les grandes organisations et les parcs fédéraux, décrits comme « hautement prioritaires » dans le règlement, ont la possibilité d’acheter uniquement des VZE à compter du 1er janvier 2024 ou d’augmenter graduellement le nombre de véhicules zéro émission dans leurs parcs. Les parcs de véhicules qui décident du roulement graduel doivent satisfaire aux exigences de leur groupe de véhicules au plus maintenant le 1er janvier de chaque année.
Les véhicules Drayage qui entrent dans les ports réglementés ou les gares de triage ne peuvent ajouter que des véhicules zéro émission à leurs opérations à compter du 1er janvier 2024. Cependant, les véhicules existants peuvent continuer avec le drayage s’ils sont immatriculés auprès du CARB d’ici le 31 décembre 2023 et continuer à répondre à certaines exigences jusqu’à la fin de leur « vie utile ».

Nos praticiens partagent leurs idées et leurs points de vue sur les tendances et les défis qui façonnent le marché.
TRC examine l’environnement opérationnel unique et les meilleures pratiques pour les aéroports alors qu’ils font évoluer la recharge des VE, soutiennent l’électrification côté terre et côté piste et atteignent les objectifs de décarbonisation.
TRC travaille avec des centaines d’organisations qui ont fait des investissements dans l’électrification du parc automobile et l’infrastructure de recharge des VE comme moyens d’atteindre leurs objectifs en matière de carbone, de climat et de transport propre.
Les flottes sont aux prises avec l’incertitude et les différences réglementaires entre les administrations tout en faisant face à des difficultés de croissance avec les nouvelles technologies.
TRC a dépassé 1,5 milliard de dollars en financement pour soutenir les projets de transport commercial propre de ses clients. Cette réalisation survient moins de deux ans après avoir atteint le cap des 1 milliard de dollars.
Dans le paysage des transports en évolution active, l’électrification des parcs de véhicules est devenue une étape cruciale vers un avenir énergétique durable et propre. L’électrification peut, dans les bonnes applications, aider les flottes à réduire considérablement les émissions, à réduire les coûts d’exploitation totaux à vie et à améliorer la qualité de l’air dans et autour de leurs communautés.
Même dans le cadre de la Loi sur la réduction de l’inflation, c’est au niveau de l’État et au niveau local que résident certains des exemples les plus innovants de leadership climatique.
Malgré les nombreux États qui ont rapidement adopté la règle ACT, 2023 a vu les premiers exemples de retraits inattendus de l’effort, reflétant une évolution dans les approches zéro émission adoptées par les flottes moyennes et lourdes.

Source: Fleet Owner ANAHEIM, California—The Diesel Era is ending, but it won’t be easy for fleets. However, public policy and financial and other incentives are pushing transportation into a cleaner future, according to the fourth State of Sustainable Fleets Market Brief, which also notes that transitioning to new power technologies faces financial and supply hurdles. “It’s no surprise that one of the findings is that we’re starting to hear folks talk about the sunset of the Diesel Era,” said Erik Neandross, which produced the annual study. “We believe that 2027 could very well be the last of the major diesel engine development programs that we see out there in the world—which is pretty amazing.” Last year, Navistar said its new S13 Integrated Powertrain includes the final internal combustion engine the producer of International Trucks will develop. Navistar and other major North American OEMs have some zero-emission trucks and goals to develop and expand those ZE offerings. Regulators also are pushing OEMs and engine-makers to find cleaner ways to move goods and people in the coming years. The 2023 report from clean technology consultants TRC (formerly GNA) was released on the opening day of the firm’s Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, which drew another record crowd to Orange County. Organizers said about 13,000 people are attending the show, a 50% increase from 2022. “Of course, the record attendance that we have here is really indicative of the growth and investment that we’ve seen in the clean fuels and fleet industry in the last couple of years,” Neandross said during a main stage presentation on May 1 in front of thousands of fleet and transportation executives. The State of Sustainable Fleets report shows a future where new diesel engine development programs slow as zero-emission vehicles become the centerpiece of regulations in states representing about half of the U.S. economy. Nearly 80% of air pollutants come from “mobile sources. That’s why clean transportation technologies are so important,” Wayne Nastri, South Coast Air Quality Management District executive officer, said on May 1. “They’re so needed in order for us to meet not only federal and state air-quality standards—as well to reduce some of the toxic emissions and the climate pollutants—but the key is that we need to transition to zero-emission as quickly as possible.” Continue reading on Fleet Owner
Source: ACT News In the fourth annual State of Sustainable Fleets Market Brief, a new trend is clear — public policy and funding has shifted sharply to build the ZEV market and sunset diesel engine development on an accelerated timeframe. Report author and leading clean technology consulting firm, TRC (formerly GNA), unveiled the findings at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, a four-day conference which drew more than 10,000 attendees to Anaheim, California. This year’s Market Brief illustrates much more about the future, one where new diesel engine development programs are moving towards a sunset, and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) will be the “law of the land” in states representing approximately half of the U.S. economy. The past 18 months have laid the roadmap for a zero-emission (ZE) future in many states and produced early signals that the era of the diesel engine, the workhorse of heavy-duty vehicles, will end sooner than many predicted. Previously, the State of Sustainable Fleets demonstrated that some clean fuels and vehicles are now superior to gasoline- and diesel-fueled vehicles for many fleet applications, and adoption of renewable fuels and advanced technology drivetrains is accelerating. “The past year has brought a historic amount of investment from the federal government, as well as from private industry,” said Erik Neandross. “Across clean fuel types, we’re seeing accelerating momentum and an increasing commitment to low carbon fuels and zero emission commercial vehicles.” This year’s report offers another deep analysis into the alternative fuels and clean transportation markets, with the following findings: Continue reading on ACT News
