Background
Small off-road engines (SORE) are spark-ignition engines with
rated power at or below 19 kilowatts (25.5 horsepower) used in
non-stationary equipment that is not used to propel a licensed on-road
motor vehicle, an off-road motorcycle, an all-terrain vehicle, a marine
vessel, a snowmobile, a model airplane, a model car, or a model boat.
Emissions from SORE have decreased by 50 percent since 2000 due to SORE
regulations and increasing adoption of zero-emission equipment (ZEE).
Further reductions of SORE emissions are needed despite this progress.
CARB has adopted amendments to the SORE regulations that will
transition SORE equipment to ZEE as soon as possible to achieve
additional emission reductions.
You may view all rulemaking documents on the SORE rulemaking page. The SORE
regulations include emission standards of zero for most newly manufactured
engines starting with model year 2024. The SORE regulations do not
prohibit the sale and use of existing CARB-certified equipment.
