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

Green Car Congress

High emitters occur as a result of breakage, mal-maintenance (performance modifications, rechipping, and/or after-treatment removal), and at end of a vehicle’s useful life. In Chicago, the observed, on-road taxi fleet also had significantly higher emissions and an emissions share that was more than double their fleet representation.
