Florida bill would make weight exception for APUs

Florida bill would make weight exception for APUs

Quote:

An incentive to reduce truck idling in Florida will be renewed once lawmakers return to the state Capitol next year.

Rep. Greg Evers, R-Baker, has prefiled a bill for consideration during the regular session that convenes in March 2010. The bill would increase the maximum gross vehicle, axle weight limits for large trucks equipped with idle-reduction technology. The bill is HB51.

A similar effort failed to gain passage in the Legislature during the 2009 regular session. The Senate unanimously approved a bill in the waning days of the session to authorize trucks equipped with auxiliary power units to weigh up to an additional 400 pounds. However, it didn’t get consideration in the House before adjournment.

States were granted federal authority in 2005 to allow heavy-duty trucks to exceed the 80,000-pound maximum weight limit to encourage the use of idling-reduction equipment.
