16. California’s Climate Change Initiatives
• California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006
(AB 32)
• Governor’s Executive Order
• Strategies for reducing GHG emissions outlined
in Scoping Plan
• Included Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation
16
17. California Authority to Regulate GHG
Under Clean Air Act
• In 2007, U.S. Supreme Court ruled in
Massachusetts v. EPA that GHGs are covered by
the Clean Air Act's definition of air pollutant
• Clean Air Act (CAA) §209(a) and (b)
• §209(a) CAA prevents all states except California from
adopting or attempting to enforce new motor vehicle
emissions standards
• §209(b) EPA must grant California a waiver from the
general prohibitions of § 209(a) if California determines
its standards are, in the aggregate, at least as protective
of public health and welfare as applicable federal
standards
17
18. Climate Change Progress
• California is on target for meeting 2020 GHG
reduction goal
• Many GHG measures adopted over last 5 years,
including:
• Low Carbon Fuel Standard
• Advanced Clean Car standards
• Cap-and-Trade
• Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation

• MVT has and will continue to

• Fuel savings technology is not just
good for the environment and the
communities we serve—it is good
for business
• Selfishly we would like to see more
industry adoption of fuel savings
technologies to reduce everyone’s
cost per unit and improve ROI
51. Desires for Future Regulations
• Let the market decide through voluntary programs like
Smartway
• Make sure regulations reduce net emissions
• Considerable opportunity to meet political objectives
through the mandate of Biodiesel
• Per US EPA, there is up to an 86% reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions by substituting petrochemical diesel with Biodiesel
• All terminal fueling at our main terminal in El Paso has been with
B20 Biodiesel since 2012—over 500k gallons per month

Fleets want…
To know how a technology will
perform in their fleet
To know the trade-offs (e.g.,
weight, maintenance time, driver
acceptance) for fuel savings?
Understanding top performance
limits
Simple sources of information
and a say in the program
Listening to stakeholders
Manufacturers want…
Apples-to-apples comparisons of
technology performance
Innovative standardized test
methods that provide flexibility
and reduce burden
Potential for other types of
technologies
