Manufacturer Volume Status
The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Regulation requires large-volume and intermediate-volume manufacturers selling vehicles in Vermont to provide a certain percent of zero emission vehicles (such as battery electric and fuel cell vehicles) and clean plug-in hybrids. The manufacturers listed to the right include 2018 vehicle manufacturers subject to the ZEV requirements.
Beginning with the 2018 Model Year, clean hybrids and clean gasoline vehicles with near-zero tail pipe emissions no longer earn ZEV credits and their prior credits have a discounted value.
Manufacturer ZEV Requirement
A vehicle manufacturer’s ZEV requirement is based on a percentage of its passenger cars and light-duty trucks from 0 to 8,500 pounds, delivered for sale in Vermont. The table below is the 2018 Vermont vehicle production of large-volume and intermediate-volume manufacturers subject to the ZEV requirement. Manufacturers may exclude ZEV vehicles from their obligation basis.

Manufacturer 2018 ZEV Credit Balances and Transfers
In complying with the ZEV Regulation, large and intermediate volume manufacturers supply vehicles in Vermont which generate credits based on vehicle type. Small volume manufacturers without a formal obligation to supply vehicles may also earn credits that may be banked or sold. The table below lists credit balances as of October 1, 2019 generated since the start of Vermont’s ZEV program in 2000, although requirements for placements began only in 2007. The credits are in units of grams per mile Non-Methane Organic Gases (g/mi NMOG) converted to ZEV Credits.
Note: in various Model Years manufacturers may have earned credits in Vermont for placements in other States adopting the California Low Emission/Zero Emission Vehicle Regulations through a mechanism known as “Travel”, meant to foster technology development without placing undue burden upon manufacturers. Travel of FCVs continues while travel of BEVs was completed prior to the close of the Model Year 2017 per the ZEV regulation.

[1] Traveled Credits, May 2018.
[2] Through Model Year 2014, ZEV credits were recorded as grams per mile of NMOG, reflecting greater value for earlier year placements, due to a larger multiplier from a numerically declining annual fleet average NMOG requirement. Starting in 2015, to reflect program changes, values are converted to ZEV Credits. These current totals can be converted back to g/mi NMOG by multiplying by .035.
Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Definitions
- FCV = Fuel Cell Vehicle
- BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle
- BEVx = BEVs with a clean range-extending auxiliary power unit
- NEV+ = Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, an improved low speed, limited range vehicle
- Discount AT PZEV & PZEV = Conversion of Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (clean hybrids) and Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (clean gasoline) credits from prior year ZEV Program requirements per Title 13, California Code of Regulations Section 1962.1(g)(2)(f)
- TZEV = Transitional Zero Emission Vehicle, e.g., "plug-in hybrid"
- NMOG = Non-Methane Organic Gases
