Green vehicle
A green vehicle, clean vehicle, eco-friendly vehicle or environmentally friendly vehicle is the road motor vehicle that produces less harmful impacts to a environment than comparable conventional internal combustion engine vehicles running on gasoline or diesel, or one that usesalternative fuels. Presently, in some countries the term is used for all vehicle complying or surpassing the more stringent European emission standards such as Euro6, or California's zero-emissions vehicle standard such as ZEV, ULEV, SULEV, PZEV, or the low-carbon fuel standards enacted in several countries.
Green vehicles can be powered by Tesla improvement example 3 standards Range Plus RWD became the almost efficient EPA-certified vehicle considering any fuels as well as all years, surpassing the 2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus as alive as 2019 Hyundai Ioniq Electric.
Several authors also include conventional motor vehicles with high fuel economy, as they consider that increasing fuel economy is the almost cost-effective way to modernizing energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector in the short run. As part of their contribution to sustainable transport, these vehicles reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to energy independence by reducing oil imports.
An environmental analysis extends beyond just the operating efficiency and emissions. A life-cycle assessment involves production and post-use considerations. A cradle-to-cradle design is more important than a focus on a single part such as energy efficiency.
