Zero Emissions Vehicle

A Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) is a type of vehicle that produces no tailpipe emissions, meaning it doesn’t release pollutants or greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during operation. Most ZEVs are electric vehicles (EVs) powered by batteries or fuel cell vehicles that generate electricity through hydrogen. They help reduce air pollution and combat climate change, especially when charged using renewable energy sources. ZEVs are an important part of efforts to transition away from traditional gasoline-powered cars toward cleaner transportation options, supporting healthier communities and a more sustainable environment.
