tailpipe emissions
Car exhaust gases
Tailpipe emissions are the exhaust gases and particles released from a vehicle's tailpipe—the end of the exhaust system.
The term appears in environmental and regulatory contexts discussing air pollution from cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles: Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions.
Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter are common tailpipe emissions.
