Description
Summary:	(EVs) and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs). This research addresses the need for assessing the potential environmental alternative vehicle for the state of Texas is recommended. an analysis of the potential impact of various alternative been minimal research conducted in analyzing the potential benefits of each program. Emission inventories were continued growth in automobile population and usage have conventional vehicles, in order to measure the relative emission inventory results from various alternative vehicle emission rates for EVs that are representative of Texas, and EVs on NO,, Emissions and the HEVs superior Emissions generated by standard EPA procedure using Mobile5b. Two impacts of alternative vehicles for the state of Texas. The impacts of alternative vehicles, namely electric vehicles implementation of an alternative vehicle program to alleviate Increases in environmental and air quality problems due to main contributions of this research are the derivation of major findings of this research were the negative impact of performance for all the three pollutants addressed in this prompted many states including Texas to consider the Scenarios were compared to a Baseline Scenario with study. Based on the research findings, the use of HEVs as an these problems. Given the need for such programs, there has vehicle programs incorporating EVs and HEVS. Specifically,
