DRIVECLEAN.CA.GOV STANDARDS:

All new vehicles sold in California must be certified by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) under one of six emissions ratings. The ARB has established the following criteria for vehicles to be featured on DriveClean.ca.gov. This criteria promotes vehicles that meet the most stringent emissions standards and have an important role in the progression of zero emission technology. As fleets get cleaner, the ARB will re-evaluate this criteria so that the least polluting vehicle options are represented on this web site.
