What are SmartWay Certified Vehicles?

Each vehicle listed in our Green Vehicle Guide receives an Air Pollution Score and a Greenhouse Gas Score, on a scale of 1-10.

For the SmartWay designation, a vehicle must receive a 6 or better on both scores, and have a total score of at least 13. Vehicles that receive the SmartWay designation are very good environmental performers relative to other vehicles.

SmartWay Elite is given to those vehicles that score 9 or better on both scores. The SmartWay Elite designation is given to the best environmental performers.

How can I purchase a SmartWay Certified Vehicle?

You can use the SmartWay Certified Vehicle Widget to get a list of all SmartWay vehicles certified in your state (by model year). Simply click SmartWay and/or SmartWay Elite, enter the model year, and the state and click "Submit.' You will get a comprehesive list instantly.
