Air quality is impacted by vehicle emissions.
Environmental Engineering achieves clean air by researching new regulations and technology, certifying vehicles and testing in-use vehicles. EE is responsible for the issues that effect Toyota s vehicle emissions. This responsibility includes health effects, emissions inventories, fuel and oil specifications, alternate fuel requirements, energy efficiency, current and future emission control and powertrain technologies, test procedures, the auto industry s ability to meet regulations, emission system distribution regulations, and United States emission related laws. Environmental Engineering s responsibility began with researching and negotiating vehicle emission regulations with regulating agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Environment Canada, California Air Resources Board, and various state air quality departments. Today, in addition to continuing with these responsibilities, EE also investigates powertrains, fuels and oils for future technologies.
