As the move from diesel- or LP-powered vehicles to electric vehicles takes place at airports, its important to keep in mind that ICE-powered vehicles convert 20% to 30% of their fuel into propulsion, while EVs convert 80% to 90%. Even after the launch of the JFK AirTrain, the Port Authority still had a number of diesel coach buses.

Although agriculture is the dominant NH 3 source at continental to global scales, in urban areas a significant NH 3 source is gasoline vehicles equipped with three-way catalysts (TWC). Except for the Euro VI standard on heavy duty diesel vehicles, there are no vehicle emission standards to regulate NH 3 worldwide. —Sun et al.
