First of all, let me explain what PZEV cars mean.  PZEV is a technical term which is abbreviation of Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. Any car which has 15 years of life warranty with 10,000 Kilometers drive each year, or in other words 150,000 miles warranty and zero evaporative emissions from its fuel handling system can be called a PZEV provided that it meets SULEV tailpipe emission fixed standards.

Furthermore some cars also have a status of AT-PZEV which means Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. AT-PZEV cars are much more fuel efficient than PZEV cars due to their hybrid technology. Although these cars are expensive but are fuel economical and environment friendly so in the end, we are in profit. PZEV and AT-PZEV cars are also known as green vehicles. That is probably due to the green house friendliness of these cars.
