This article provides an overview of the environmental impact of the vehicle and tasks to reduce GHG. 4-step methods of reducing the environmental impact of the vehicle are reflected in the article. The operating modes of the engine in terms of fuel economy and reduction of environmental damage are given in the example of 3 cars. Stated that when power usage grade is U = 0.8 and engine operates in 70-80% of its maximum engine speed a fuel consumption and environmental damage is reduced. The article summarizes the following: operation of the engine with power usage grade around 0.8 in the city conditions can be provided by using engines with appropriate power i.e. a car with big engine power is not necessary in the city conditions in terms of fuel economy and environment protection.
