<aside> 💡 High-level description

ACRISS (Association of Car Rental Industry Systems Standards) is traditionally known for establishing coding systems for car rentals and travel industries. Over time, its focus has expanded to encapsulate methodologies addressing the environmental impacts of the automotive sector. When assessing cars, the methodology developed by ACRISS emphasizes the nuanced distinctions between various car models, fuel types, and usage patterns. They understand that a compact city car's emissions differ vastly from a large SUV, and their method takes such disparities into account.

This methodology offers a detailed perspective on the carbon emissions from cars, focusing on vehicle specifications, driving behaviors, and maintenance practices. Recognizing the car industry's evolution with electric and hybrid vehicles, ACRISS has continually updated its approach to remain relevant and accurate, ensuring that car emissions data stays in line with the latest technological advancements and industry standards.
