The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released an updated version of the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model—MOVES2010—for use to estimate air pollution from cars, trucks, and other on-road mobile sources. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to update regularly the way it calculates mobile source emissions.
