Zero emission vehicle
Zero emission vehicle
A Zero emission vehicle (ZEV) [1] is a vehicle that emits no exhaust gas from the onboard source of power. These vehicles have significant implications for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and dependence on fossil fuels.
Etymology
The term "Zero emission vehicle" was coined by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in the 1990s to designate a vehicle that produces no tailpipe or evaporative emissions.
Types of Zero Emission Vehicles
There are several types of zero emission vehicles:
- Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
- Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCEVs)
- Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) in all-electric mode
