WHY GREEN CARS??

Reduces global warming.

Not threatening to natural habitants and wildlife.

Creates less smog in the air.

Country doesn’t have to rely on expensive oil imports from other countries.

Decreases greenhouse gases and other air pollutants released into the environment.

WHY NO ????

Less popular.

Huge dependence on battery.

Fear of early obsolescence.

BREAKING NEWS

"The Tata Megapixel, developed by our design centers in India, the UK and Italy, is our idea of a city car for discerning motorists in any megacity of the world," said Prakash Telang, managing director of Tata's India Operations.

It "also denotes the company's future design direction," he added.

The four - seater that the company describes as a "smart global range extended electric vehicle" combines a lithium ion phosphate battery and an on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on the move.

Tata, which reported $27 billion of revenues for 2010-11, said the vehicle runs for 100 kilometers on just one litre of fuel.

The group's officials did not reveal the target price for the vehicle, but if it is low, it could be a serious competitor in the green car sector which has been dominated by Toyota's Prius.

Dieter Zetsche, chairman of Daimler AG, said carmakers are now investing large sums in designing cars that produce lower gas emissions, amid a global move to go green.

Susan Doherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet Europe, said that, “"electricity is the way go in the future."

A tightening of legislation restricting the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from trucks and cars led car manufacturers to develop new tyres that help decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the Fox News reported Saturday.

Most of these tyres reduce their carbon footprint by making lighter contact with the road, reducing the amount of resistance and therefore necessitating less gasoline to push the vehicle forward.

In dire situations, the eco-friendly tyres may role on for a longer time after the brake pedal is pushed than traditional tyres, the report said.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY???

On the basis of the Global Survey: Is 'Green' Set To Drive The Car Industry? conducted by Synovate  the following results were obtained –

Is green mainstream? Can the lure of the environmentally friendly vehicle outweigh the desire for all the raw power of the petrol engine? Synovate asked respondents to forget about money for a moment and tell us whether they would buy green, dream or in between.

The top answer across all 18 markets, if money were no object, was to buy a green car, with 37% of respondents saying this would be their preferred purchase.

Thirty-one percent said they would buy their dream car and a further 22% claimed that 'my dream car is a green car'... meaning that 59% - or very nearly six in ten - showed the desire to go green.

"Car makers are producing more and more options that will appeal to this fast-growing group of green-inclined people," says Synovate's CEO of Motorsesearch, Scott Miller.

FUTURE OF GREEN CARS

Is the future of green cars unpredictable???

…..and the

answer is………

• With fuel efficiency concerns continuing to get worse, hybrid cars will have to play an even bigger role in helping the environment• They will benefit from the continuing growth of technology• Because of future technologies, companies have big plans in terms of what to expect in the future for hybrid cars…

→ For Example:

• By the year 2010, General Motors hopes to have their new “Plug-In” hybrid which can travel up to 40 miles on electricity with it’s rechargeable battery

• Eventually the cost improved performance and reducing size and weight of fuel cell obstacles will be overcome, providing another efficient and environmentally friendly source of power for vehicles

I do my

best to

save the

Planet

I dream of a nice …

… electrical car

But in town …

I prefer my lovely tramway

Or use my nice bicycle

Do it the same, every

one can save the planet
