The Heavy Duty Inspection/Maintenance Program seeks to get vehicles with high emissions off the road. Beginning in 2023, trucks will be subject to twice-a-year testing and remote emissions checkpoints. Working with Be CARB Compliant will help you avoid CARB HD I/M violations and keep your fleet active.
The Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP) serves as a companion to the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection Program (HDVIP) to help ensure that California’s heavy-duty truck fleets are properly maintained, free from excessive smoke, and tamper-free.
All California-based fleets of two or more heavy-duty diesel vehicles over 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) with engines over four years old are required to perform annual smoke opacity tests (1998 and newer diesel vehicles between 6,000–14,000 pounds GVWR subject to biennial smog check are not subject to PSIP).
Fleets are required to maintain the two most recent, consecutive years of PSIP test results for each vehicle, including repair information, post-repair opacity results, and smoke meter calibrations. CARB has the authority to audit records of all heavy-duty diesel vehicles at the owner/operator-designated fleet location.
When we test your equipment you will be registered with the state and we will maintain that data in our database.
As the HD I/M program goes live, we are ready to help commercial drivers and fleets meet the requirements.
If you receive a non-compliance notice, it does not have to stop you from doing business. We understand the regulations and can help you navigate the resolution process
