California’s Climate Change Initiatives
• California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32)
• Governor’s Executive Order
• Strategies for reducing GHG emissions outlined in Scoping Plan • Included Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation
16
California Authority to Regulate GHG Under Clean Air Act • In 2007, U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Massachusetts v. EPA that GHGs are covered by the Clean Air Act's definition of air pollutant
• Clean Air Act (CAA) §209(a) and (b) • §209(a) CAA prevents all states except California from
adopting or attempting to enforce new motor vehicle emissions standards
• §209(b) EPA must grant California a waiver from the general prohibitions of § 209(a) if California determines its standards are, in the aggregate, at least as protective of public health and welfare as applicable federal standards
17
Climate Change Progress
• California is on target for meeting 2020 GHG reduction goal
• Many GHG measures adopted over last 5 years, including: • Low Carbon Fuel Standard • Advanced Clean Car standards • Cap-and-Trade • Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation

• MVT has and will continue to embrace most regulations related to fuel economy
• Fuel savings technology is not just good for the environment and the communities we serve—it is good for business
• Selfishly we would like to see more industry adoption of fuel savings technologies to reduce everyone’s cost per unit and improve ROI
Desires for Future Regulations
• Let the market decide through voluntary programs like Smartway
• Make sure regulations reduce net emissions • Considerable opportunity to meet political objectives
through the mandate of Biodiesel • Per US EPA, there is up to an 86% reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions by substituting petrochemical diesel with Biodiesel • All terminal fueling at our main terminal in El Paso has been with
B20 Biodiesel since 2012—over 500k gallons per month
