A gas analysis device for the remote detecting, measuring and recording of NO, CO, CO2, HC, and H2O levels from the exhaust (30) of moving motor vehicles (28) utilizes a source (11) of collimated infrared and ultraviolet radiation (15) and includes a detector unit (16) positioned on the opposite side of the roadway for receiving and measuring the infrared and ultraviolet radiation from the source (11) tranmitted through the vehicle exhaust. The detector unit splits the combined infrared and ultraviolet radiation into separate infrared and ultraviolet beams (42) and (40). The ultraviolet beam is diffracted onto a photodiode array in a spectrometer that generates a signal indicative of NO in the vehicle exhaust. A rotating reflector (27) time-multiplexes the infrared beam to a plurality of infrared sensors that generate electrical signals indicative of, for example, CO, CO2, HC, and H2O in the vehicle exhaust. A computer (17) then computes the relative concentrations of CO, CO2, HC, NO, and H2O in the path of the infrared and ultraviolet radiation from the source, thereby measuring vehicle emissions.
