The RV Industry Association (RVIA) has reported that in 2025, California’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation, aimed at promoting zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), could create a near-total “ban” on motorhome sales in the state, as well as in additional states that follow the California Air Resource Board (CARB) regulations.

A news story by the RVIA advices the RV Industry that: “While the regulation does not specifically ban motorhome sales, the ACT regulation mandates manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty vehicles to sell an increasing percentage of ZEVs each year. This has led chassis manufacturers to halt sales of traditional internal combustion engine chassis for motorhomes in California, stemming from the lack of ZEV chassis suitable for motorhomes.”

The RV Industry Association is continuing to work with CARB staff on the ACT to find a solution, but if nothing changes, motorhomes will not be able to be sold and registered in California in 2025, although the exact date is still to be determined.
