Abstract: Road transportation and the corresponding GHG emissions are one of the main reasons for environmental contamination in almost all countries, and Kuwait is not an exception. The focus of this study was mainly on automobiles' fuel consumption, energy consumption, and emissions produced by private vehicles. The exponentiation of the parameters directs to the risk priority number (RPN). A rating is assigned for severity, occurrence, and detection to estimate RPN for every failure mode and to select the first five high priority failure modes to be used in the improvement stage, as they are approximately 70% of all RPN. Based on the obtained results, some important recommendations were made such as service intervals for the optimum time to change the filter, tyre pressure check at regular intervals, tyre inflation its effect, vehicle idling time and its effect on fuel consumption, and the harmful effect of CO2 into the atmosphere.
