Summary
This review
papers aims at looking at the evolution of automobiles in our world and the
negative impact it made. We look at future possible innovations for cleaner
cars to preserve our world for the next generation. I will also examine the
various challenges that may arise.
Introduction
Since the era of
industrialization, cars have taken a irreplaceable role in our society. It
brings about great convenience and made many tasks possible. The increase in the
market for cars greatly increased with the decreased production costs over the
years. With compact cars such as TATA nano hitting the markets. With such wide
spread in the usage of cars, it is thus important that these cars are efficient
on our resources and also cause as little pollution as possible to our
surroundings.
History of cars
(Past)
- Evolution
of cars from the first car, and the changes in impact on the environment.
- The
trends of evolution and how it culmilated to the trend today.
Current (Present)
- Increasing
issues of pollution
- Depleting
of conventional energy source (fossil fuel)
- Carbon
emission scheme
- Shift
in focus to more fuel efficient cars (turbo charged cars, low fuel consumption,
low CO2 emission without affecting the horsepower of the car)
- Emergence
of hybrid cars (Low emissions)
- Emergence
of electric cars (No emissions, however runs on electricity, meaning there is still pollution from power plants)
Problems
(Present)
- Still
not entirely clean, still pollutive
- People
reluctance to change to cleaner cars due to high barriers to entry
- No
infrastructure for clean cars
-
Future Tech and
considerations
- Possible
Hydrogen powered cars and solar powered cars (No emissions)
- More
funding from government to build up infrastructure
- Increase
awareness for protection of environment, create a bigger market for automobile
companies to innovate, invest in R & D
Conclusion
- Important how everyone
plays a part. Look at economic, social and environmental factors.
