Stanford, for many years, was allowed to run a similar brand of narrow width imported trucks that fit between bollards around campus because they are/were their own municipality (and own ZIP code) on their own property. As such, I don't think they had State of CA license plates, had to pass Smog Check emissions tests, or had any sort of formal homologation.

In general, accepting random vehicles without proper homologation review by the DOT is an unwise and dangerous process. On the other hand, small and limited use vehicles for explicit use not on public roadways should also be possible.

Similarly, a lot of these trucks seem to have "farm use only" plates.
