Getting more zero- and low-emission vehicles on the road in Pennsylvania helps reduce harmful air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases heating up the climate, in the air.

Getting more zero- and low-emission vehicles on the road in Pennsylvania helps reduce harmful air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, helping to address climate change. The deadline is December 15.

Conventional vehicles are a leading source of air pollutants that affect human health. Transportation is also the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Nearly 154,000 of those jobs would stem from incentives that make it less expensive to purchase medium- and heavy-duty EVs like trucks and buses.

At the high temperatures in internal combustion engines, some of the nitrogen in the air actually burns, resulting in the formation NO or NO 2 , which are collectively called NOx. NOx plays a role in forming ground level ozone and final particulates (PM2.5), both of which are human health hazards.

The emissions make a significant contribution to climate change because methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas which, in the first 20 years after it is released, traps approximately 84 times more heat in the earth’s atmosphere than carbon dioxide (on a per ton basis).
