But while greenhouse gas emissions may be reduced, a delivery fulfilled by a diesel-burning truck may lead to increases in emissions of smog-forming nitrogen oxides and lung-damaging particulate matter. The number of available electric truck models in the US and Canada has surpassed 180.

Number of cars are up, but gasoline use is down The number of passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs in California has continued to increase over the last ten years, from less than 23 million in 2013 to almost 29 million in 2023. These regulations (both state and federal) that UCS has advocated for have saved drivers money and reduced emissions.

However, leaks which allow gasses to escape can mitigate reductions or result in overall increases in emissions relative to alternate storage methods, and generating energy via anaerobic digesters can emit pollutants like nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, among others. 2013 , IPCC 6th Assessment Report, Chapter 6 , González et al.,

The transportation sector is also a substantial source of nitrogen oxides and particulates, both of which are dangerous to human health. EPA is an effort by conservative states and fuel suppliers to block EPA regulations of greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act.
