Will diesel trucks be banned in California?
According to SF Gate, the proposed regulations would prohibit the use of new diesel trucks in and around busy railways and ports by 2024, phase out all diesel trucks from those areas by 2035, and — where feasible — remove every diesel truck and bus fleet from California roads by 2045.
This includes mandating that all new trucks operating around busy railways and ports be zero-emission vehicles by 2024; phasing out all diesel trucks from those areas by 2035; and eventually taking every diesel truck and bus fleet off California roads by 2045, where feasible.
Drayage fleets must comply with requirements by operating only vehicles with 2007 MY engines or newer. By January 1, 2023, all class 7 and 8 diesel-fueled drayage trucks must have 2010 or newer engines. Trucks with 2010 or newer engines are fully compliant with both the Truck and Bus and Drayage regulations.
Commercial vehicles to continue to use petrol and diesel until 2040. All new passenger cars. Commercial vehicles to continue to use petrol and diesel until 2035.
Can I still drive a petrol and diesel car after 2030, and a hybrid with a "significant" zero emission range after 2035? Yes. The bans on these dates only apply to sales of new cars, and there are no current plans to outlaw the use or sale of second-hand cars based on these criteria.
New models would be zero-emission in 2024, while diesel and gas drayage trucks must retire after 18 years to guarantee that they meet a zero-emission requirement by 2035. In addition, half of all new trucks purchased by state and local governments would be zero-emission in 2024, increasing to 100% by 2027.
Can I still buy a second-hand petrol or diesel car after 2030? Like the above, the ban only affects the sale of new vehicles, so you'll still be able to buy and sell used petrol or diesel cars after 2030. For the same reason, you'll also be able to buy and sell used hybrids after 2035, too.
Carriers domiciled in California with trucks older than 2011 model, or using engines manufactured before 2010, will need to meet the Board's new Truck and Bus Regulation beginning in 2020 or their vehicles will be blocked from registration with the state's DMV, the state has said.
While many of us were on vacation last week, the transition to electric vehicles took a monumental leap. On Aug. 25, California regulators adopted rules that would ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and light trucks by 2035.

What year trucks are allowed in California 2022?
The regulation states that commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicles Weight Rating (GVWR) of 14,001 lbs and above must be powered by an engine with a model year of EMY 2010 or newer (see below). Just like with any law, there are some exceptions, options, and exemptions.
If your California business relies on an older model diesel truck, you may be in for a nasty surprise when the time comes to renew your vehicle's registration. In an effort to meet emissions regulations, a new 2020 law limits the registration of some older diesel trucks in California, deeming them unroadworthy.
Mandate that all new drayage trucks — generally heavy-duty trucks that transport bulk freight between port and rail facilities and distribution centers — sold in California be electric by 2024. Companies would need to completely retire any diesel or gas-powered drayage trucks by 2035.
