The Diesel Retrofit Compliance Program in State of Oregon
The 2019 Oregon Legislature responded to concerns about significant pollution caused by older diesel engines and passed HB 2007 (2019) to reduce emissions across the state.
One way to reduce these harmful emissions includes the installation of appropriate exhaust filtering technology. These technologies are aftermarket systems – aka “retrofits” that can be seamlessly and discreetly installed that greatly reduce diesel pollution and extend the life of the vehicle.

What vehicles does this apply to?
“On Jan. 1, 2023 medium-and/or heavy-duty vehicles powered by a 1996 or older diesel engine may not be able to renew registration in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties unless equipped with approved retrofit technology and certified by OR DEQ.”
What if you don’t get your older vehicle retrofitted?
The bill also establishes deadlines, codified in ODOT statute, after which certain older model diesel engine vehicles cannot be titled or registered in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties.
