Notes to Data

Average vehicle emissions are the smog-forming pollutants from vehicle tailpipes, characterized as the sum of [(NMOG + NOx emissions) x volume] for all products in the fleet.

Analysis

In 2010, Ford’s average vehicle emissions remained the same for all light-duty vehicles, and increased slightly for passenger cars for the first time in seven years.
