MOVES (Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator)
EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) is developing the MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES). This new emission modeling system will estimate emissions for on-road and nonroad mobile sources, cover a broad range of pollutants, and allow multiple scale analysis.
MOVES2010 is now available for analysis of air pollution emissions from highway vehicles. Material relating to Draft MOVES2009 has been moved to MOVES Technical Background.
