Zero-emissions vehicle

entered the automobile industry from a different approach in manufacturing automobiles. The company began designing, manufacturing, and marketing battery electric vehicles (BEVs) making Tesla the only manufacturer to sell a zero-emission sports car, the Tesla Roadster (Mangram, 2012, p. 296). Tesla manufactured luxury electric vehicles such as Model S, Model X, and the soon to be released Model 3 (Eisler, 2016, p. 35). With different automobile manufactures entering the BEV market, Tesla Motors

The Newest Type of Transportation Transportation, by definition, is the act of moving something or someone from one place to another. There are many different types of transportation vehicles such as bicycles, boats, human feet (for walking/running), and many more. Although when truly asked about transportation what comes to mind? Yes, the automobile. The automobile, and transportation contains many issues to go along with it. There are five main issues which consist of; social

increasing interest in alternative fuels for use in vehicles (cars and trucks). Most substitute energies are sourced from reusable products. Some of these alternative fuel products are produced domestically, and this reduces the United States dependence on imported fuel (Norman, 2007). The augmenting attention in substitute energies is motivated by numerous factors. To begin with, substitute energies result to reduced vehicle emissions; such emissions produced in the conformist vestige-energy result

the question of how CO2 emission can be reduced in long term. As transport system plays a major role in the increased greenhouse gases, this report highlights the use of future vehicles in the transport sector from an economic, technical and environmental point of view. Through its multi-disciplinary approach the report provides a knowledge base concerning different strategies made by government and recent advancements in automobile sector in order to reduce carbon emission.

Zero Emissions Global warming is a significant issue and the CO2 levels are up in astronomical proportions; therefore, it does not matter what caused it at this point (Volti, 2014). Scientists can argue weather man has had a significant influence on the temperature rise all they want; however, it is a well understood fact that humankind has contributed to the now high levels of CO2 in the air and humankind cannot continue to pollute the air in such high volume without regard for future generations

are vehicles that use electricity to be powered and create zero tailpipe emissions. Electric cars have recently become a controversial topic ever since the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 was enacted. In the US, the first successful electric car was built in 1891 by William Morrison. This created a spark of interest in electric cars all over the US that encouraged automakers nationwide to manufacture their own electric cars. During the 20th century, over a third of all vehicles being

plants rot, carbon and methane are released into the atmosphere. Global warming can be controlled through the following ways: preservation of forests, minimal use of fossil fuels in energy production, efficient use of energy and use of low carbon or zero carbon technology. Conservation of forests: Forests can be preserved through prevention of deforestation and through planting more trees. The importance of forests in controlling global warming applies where the trees use up carbon dioxide during photosynthesis

researched and developed for environmental reasons such as reducing our carbon emissions, they are actually becoming integrated into our lives from an economic standpoint. Hydrogen, Electric, and Bio-fueled cars are all excellent sources of Fig. 01: National Average Retail Fuel Prices for July 2017 alternative

One simple solution to prevent this sad future is purchasing an electric vehicle rather than a gasoline vehicle. According to the union of concerned scientists in 2013, transportation contributed to more than half of the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, and almost a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into our air. This air pollution carries significant risks for human health and the environment. Through clean vehicle and fuel technologies, we can significantly reduce air pollution from our

AND EFFECTS OF VOLKSWAGEN COURT SETTLEMENT Although many individuals are unaware of the TDI diesel emissions court settlement between Volkswagen and their customers; there are two causes and several effects. John German discovered the Volkswagen emissions scandal. It turns out that, the lawsuit came about due to cheating software that Volkswagen installed in their 2.0 and 3.0-liter diesel vehicles. In turn, a few effects of the cheating software resulted in a 14.7 billion dollar lawsuit between Volkswagen
