Beginning January 1st 2020 heavy duty trade waste hauling vehicles that have a license or registration with the New Yor City Business Integrity Comission (BIC) must be equipped with an EPA2007 of later engine, or utilize Best Avaliable Retrofit Technology (BART) on 2006 and older engines. BART technology is retrofit technology that has been veified by either the California Air Resourses Board (CARB) or the Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA) for reducing the
emission of pollutants that achieves reductions in particulate matter (PM) emissions at the highest classification level for diesel emission control strategies. Esentally this means that all affected vehicles must now either already be equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or have a verified DPF installed on their vehicle. Upgrading existng fleets with verified technology can help fleets save thousands of dollars while still being able to comply with the new law.
