8/28/06-A bill has died that would have established a revolving fund loan program to provide funding for truck parking space electrification and anti-idling truck cab technologies.
Sponsored by Assemblywoman Jenny Oropeza, D-Carson, AB2647 remained in the Senate Appropriations Committee at the deadline for passage to the Senate floor, effectively killing it for the year. The Assembly previously approved it.
The measure called for financing the installation of electrification facilities that would have enabled large trucks “to use plug-in electricity to power their in-cab needs rather than using main engine or auxiliary diesel powered units,” Oropeza wrote.
According to a legislative analysis, the bill would also have aided compliance with the California Air Resources Board’s heavy-duty vehicle idling emission reduction requirements. It was also consistent with the mandate to reduce particulate emissions from heavy-duty diesel trucks.
