| | véhicules en circulation | Explanation:
The word "live" just means that the vehicles are still road-legal and therefore potentially in active use. Any mention of pollution comes from the context. They contribute to pollution by the fact of being in use and because they are old, but they might not be in poor condition (épaves) and they might not be 'gas guzzlers'. |

Fondation Air Pur et est soutenu par des partenariats avec General Motors du
Canada, Imperial Oil, le gouvernement du Canada, le ministère de
l'Environnement de l'Ontario et l'Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association. Il
vise à accélérer le retrait de vieux véhicules très polluants de la

Asker: merci mals, mais je connais ce texte de la Fondation Air Pur : ils parlent ici de "polluting véhicles" et non pas de "live" vehicles, qui est une expression concernant les véhicules polluants, certes, mais qui sont encore en état de marche et que le propriétaire utilise toujours. :-)
