This study examines drivers' knowledge of CO2 emissions and the eco-friendly environment in the Malaysian automotive industry. In the context of vehicle use and the carbon emissions it causes, it is essential to comprehend people's understanding and perception of their activities' influence on the environment. This study used a survey approach to learn about drivers' knowledge of automobile CO2 emissions and their damaging environmental effects. The study will collect data from a broad cross-section of Malaysian drivers. Drivers' knowledge of the effects of CO2 emissions on the environment, their feelings about the earth's future, and their openness to adopting eco-friendly driving habits will be determined using descriptive analysis and statistical methods like PLS-SEM. It also investigates the moderating effect of demographics on the link between awareness of CO2 emissions and environmentally responsible driving. This study's results facilitate understanding the present level of knowledge among Malaysian drivers about CO2 emissions and the eco-friendly environment. This study aims to aid policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental organizations in developing targeted interventions and initiatives to promote sustainable practices in the automotive sector by examining the relationships between awareness, demographic factors, and drivers' perceptions.
