Study suggests high-mileage light-duty fleets contribute higher emissions and emissions share than expected

Green Car Congress

In their paper, published in the ACS Journal Environmental Science & Technology , they estimate that these small fleets, which represent less than 1% of the total, may be overlooked as a significant emission source (>2−5% of fleet emissions). Most emission inventory calculations use a computer model to estimate the fleet’s emissions.
