oday, better-engineered clean air cars are helping move California into a 21st century with less smog. We can make the choice to save our air and reduce hidden health costs by purchasing cars that are ARB-certified Low-Emission Vehicles (LEVs). LEVs with their more advanced technology produce 70% less hydrocarbons and 50% less nitrogen oxides than other new conventional models.

What Else Is Already Here or Just Around the Corner?

ARB's plan for reducing tailpipe pollution through a phase-in of stricter standards is being supported by exciting technological advances that are already available. Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicles (ULEVs) and Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) are making their debut. They are good for the environment and practical enough for everyday driving.
