We’re rolling out several significant updates to its Clean Truck Check (CTC) solution within MyGeotab aimed at enhancing the user experience and streamlining compliance with CARB regulations.

What’s new?

Improvements to the Clean Truck Check (CTC) solution within MyGeotab include:

  • New APIs to manage emissions compliance: This new API empowers Partners and Customers to manage their CTC program compliance and repairs efficiently without requiring direct MyGeotab access. It offers flexible API calls for tasks such as device enrollment, disenrollment, logging frequency management, next compliance deadline checks and submissions on demand, ultimately simplifying the compliance process.
  • Intelligent protocol detection in firmware: A crucial software/firmware update addresses CARB Clean Truck Check (CTC) failures, specifically for heavy-duty trucks that were stuck in a "No Complete Cycles/Pending Enrollment" status. The updated software now intelligently detects the correct protocol (either J1939 or J1979) that responds with the appropriate OBD compliance level and automatically uses it to successfully capture emissions data.
  • Real-time server status warnings: MyGeotab now monitors the status of CARB's SFTP server, and if it's down, a banner will appear at the top of the Clean Truck Check (CTC) solution page. This alert will direct Customers to the official CARB portal to access their compliance scan results. While results may not be retrievable from MyGeotab in such instances, customers can still submit scans.

These enhancements stem from customer feedback, as we aim to improve the CTC solution and help maintain compliance.

Where can I find these changes?
  • The CTC public APIs are currently available as a Beta in the MyGeotab SDK.
  • The firmware update is part of a gradual rollout via Firmware Feature Flag.
  • The server status warnings update is scheduled to be rolled out to all customers by the end of July.
