Key Insights

The California Air Resources Board’s stringent GHG emissions reporting requirements can lead to vehicle downtime and additional costs for fleets.
Fleets that take a proactive approach to CARB emissions reporting can minimize the effort, downtime and unnecessary expense of reporting – and reduce maintenance costs too.
Geotab’s CARB emissions reporting solution submits emissions data automatically, is easy to use and lets you know right away when vehicles need maintenance or repair.

California's Clean Truck Check (CTC) program has fleet managers across the country feeling the heat. But don't worry, Geotab is here to cool things down and make emissions reporting a breeze!

Here are 10 ways Geotab simplifies CARB Clean Truck Check compliance.

1. Continuous connectivity: Geotab's GO device continuously monitors and reports emissions data, so you don't have to lift a finger (except maybe to click "enroll").

2. Reduced downtime: Keep your trucks rolling and your business growing. Geotab minimizes downtime associated with manual emissions checks.

3. Open diagnostic port: Geotab's CARB-compliant T-harnesses are exempt from CARB’s aftermarket parts restrictions, keeping your on-board diagnostic port open for other uses.

4. Integrated solution: No need for extra systems or clunky integrations. Geotab's solution works seamlessly with your existing fleet management platform.

5. Proactive alerts: Get notified of potential issues with vehicle emissions systems before they become problems – or lead to fines!

6. Automated notifications: Ensure all your essential team members know right away when a compliance failure occurs so you can minimize downtime.

7. Predictive failure alerts: Geotab's continuous monitoring can predict potential compliance issues, allowing you to take action before it's too late.

8. Open APIs: Integrate CARB CTC data with your own reporting systems for a centralized view of your fleet's compliance status.

9. Protocol Flexibility: Geotab's CTC-certified solution simplifies environmental compliance for fleets with versatile installation and continuous emissions data via J1939 and J1979 protocols.
