Compliance car
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006874
An alternative-fuel or zero-emissions vehicle that an automaker sells in specific jurisdictions primarily to meet government regulations, rather than to satisfy broad consumer demand. These vehicles are often produced in limited quantities and sold only in states with mandates like California's ZEV (Zero-Emission Vehicle) program. Their availability is restricted geographically, unlike mass-market models sold nationwide.
