Summary

AB 605 adds a new chapter to the Health and Safety Code that defines a pilot program for cargo‑handling equipment meeting strict CO2 emission limits (<1 g CO2/kWh or km). It requires manufacturers to certify, label, and document the equipment’s useful life, and bars the Air Resources Board from banning such equipment for its full lifespan if bought before Dec. 31, 2027. The bill aims to cut local toxic pollutants and greenhouse gases while supporting the state’s freight industry.
