Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV)

A Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) is a type of vehicle that produces no exhaust emissions while operating. This primarily includes electric vehicles (EVs) powered by batteries and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Unlike traditional cars that burn gasoline or diesel and release harmful pollutants, ZEVs generate power without contributing to air pollution. They are important for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, and combating climate change. Governments often promote ZEVs through incentives to encourage cleaner transportation options and support environmental sustainability.
