Honda continues to lead the way in many vehicle classes, but it has started to lag the industry average in its midsize fleet—which includes its best-selling Accord, and accounts for a quarter of the company’s sales. To develop the ranking, UCS averaged the per-mile emissions for each light-duty vehicle sold by each automaker.

Black carbon (BC) from incomplete biomass and fossil fuel combustion is the most strongly light-absorbing component of particulate matter (PM) air pollution and a major climate-forcing emission. Air pollution mitigation efforts focusing on reducing combustion pollution are likely to have major benefits for climate and human health.

This decrease was largely driven by a decrease in emissions from fossil fuel combustion, which was a result of multiple factors including a continued shift from coal to natural gas and increased use of renewables in the electric power sector, and milder weather that contributed to less overall electricity use.
