In 2023, road vehicles across the United States emitted about 824,000 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Road vehicles – or highway vehicles – include road passenger vehicles, heavy-duty trucks and buses, and motorcycles. Annual emissions of VOC in the United States attributable to road transport have fallen considerably over the last 50 years due to increasingly stringent emissions standards within the transportation sector.
