green vehicles

Low-emission transport options

Green vehicles are cars, trucks, buses, or other transportation that produce lower emissions or use alternative energy sources—electric vehicles, hybrids, hydrogen fuel cells, or those running on biofuels.

The term encompasses anything from fully electric cars to more fuel-efficient conventional engines.

The city is converting its bus fleet to green vehicles.

Green here signals environmental benefit rather than color.
