PZEV stands for Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. PZEVs are vehicles that produce near-zero emissions of smog-forming pollutants, and have an advanced emission control system that helps keep our air clean.
The main benefit of PZEVs is that they significantly reduce smog-forming pollution, which has been linked to a number of health problems including respiratory illnesses, heart disease and cancer. PZEVs also help improve air quality by reducing ground-level ozone – a key component of smog.
PZEVs are available in a number of different vehicle types including cars, trucks and SUVs. Some manufacturers offer PZEV versions of their popular models, while others have dedicated PZEV models.
If you’re looking for a new vehicle and want to do your part to help improve air quality, consider opting for a PZEV.
