An Analysis and Comparison of Affordable and Ecological Short-Term Transportation Energy Solutions

Public

In times when there is greater public concern with regard to energy consumption and the environment, significant efforts are being applied to the development of better vehicular technology, most notably hybrid electric and electric vehicles. If major improvement is to be expected in the near future, vehicles which show marked improvements upon our current standards of efficiency and emissions must be developed, and developed affordably. The goal of this IQP is to compare various vehicle technologies and determine a viable short term solution for further study.
