The California Air Resources Board proposed regulations on forklifts sold and operated in California. As part of CARB's goal trying to meet the state's air quality and greenhouse gas reduction goals, the use of internal combustion forklifts is proposed to be phased out for electric forklifts.
Businesses using forklifts will slowly phase out the use of internal combustion forklifts for zero emission electric forklifts.
While the proposed plan would not implement until 2026, businesses should plan accordingly.
