Clean Vehicle Information

Since 2004, new cars and light trucks are being sold that are 99% free of smog-forming emissions.

Today's light truck runs more cleanly than a 1993 car.

Using a chain saw for one hour emits the same amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) as driving 600 miles in a typical car - the distance from Washington, DC to Atlanta.

Using a snowblower for one hour emits the same amount of carbon monoxide as driving a typical car 305 miles - the distance from Phoenix to Las Vegas.

Cars and light trucks are now responsible for about one-fifth of smog-related emissions in key U.S. cities.

Today's ultra-clean autos need ultra-clean fuel. Sulfur levels are being reduced by 90% which has a tremendous impact on the effectiveness of the catalyst.

Many manufacturers have invested billions in research and development of cutting-edge technologies, such as alternative fuel, electric, fuel cell, and hybrid electric vehicles, to bring these vehicles to the marketplace.
