WASHINGTON, July 6 (Reuters) - California state air
regulators and truck and engine manufacturers said Thursday they
had reached an agreement on state emissions rules.
    The California Air Resources Board (CARB) said it had struck
a deal known as the "Clean Truck Partnership" with the Truck and
Engine Manufacturers Association that includes new flexibility
for manufacturers to meet emissions requirements while still
reaching state climate and emission reduction goals. CARB said
it will align its rules with the Environmental Protection
Agency's 2027 regulations for nitrogen oxide emissions. The
board also agreed to provide no less than four years lead time
and at least three years of regulatory stability before imposing
new requirements.
