Abstract
This chapter summarizes the estimated local (urban) air pollution emissions for each of the alternative vehicles analyzed in this book. At the end of the twenty-first century in the USA, local air emissions were the main motivation for developing cleaner, alternative vehicles to reduce smog in major cities, driven primarily by the smog in Los Angeles. Urban air pollution is still a major issue in many urban cities around the world, although climate change and reliance on imported oil from unstable regions of the world are now the main drivers for developed nations to develop and deploy alternative fuels and vehicles.
