FAQ
The program applies to most heavy-duty diesel and alternative fuel vehicles over 14,000 pounds, regardless of whether they are registered in Illinois or out of state. Some exemptions apply, including zero-emission vehicles and certain new vehicles with low NOx emissions.
The first major deadline is July 1, 2024, when vehicle owners must register their vehicles in the Clean Truck Check database. Emissions compliance testing begins on October 1, 2024. (Note: As of August 2024, the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles will start placing registration holds on vehicles that have not passed a Clean Truck Check inspection.) In the first year, vehicles require one test. By the third year, they must undergo four tests annually to ensure continuous emissions compliance.
Compliance is enforced through annual reporting and testing requirements. Vehicles must be tested by an Illinois-credentialed tester, and any vehicle that fails to meet the standards must be repaired to pass subsequent tests. Failure to comply can result in fines and restrictions on vehicle operation in Illinois.
The initial deadline is July 1, 2024, for vehicle owners to register in the Clean Truck Check database. Emissions compliance testing begins on October 1, 2024. In the first year, vehicles need one test. By the third year, they must undergo four tests per year to ensure ongoing emissions compliance.
Non-compliance can lead to fines, vehicle registration holds, and potential restrictions on operating the vehicle within Illinois. Vehicles that fail emissions tests must be repaired and retested to meet compliance requirements.
