Soon it will be easy to determine how each car rates when it comes to air pollution. That is because the Air Resources Board (ARB) requires that all new cars beginning with the 2009 model year display the new Environmental Performance (EP) label.
Two scores from 1 - 10 are provided on the EP label, a Smog Score and a Global Warming Score – each having unique environmental impacts. These scores compare emissions between all vehicle classes and sizes with the average new car scoring a 5 on both scales.
