Electric driving
The global car fleet exists of some 800 million cars together producing at least 14 per cent of the total CO2 emissions. Within 10 years this fleet will have grown to an expected 2 billion cars, raising a number of important questions. By what percentage will CO2 emission grow? Will there be sufficient oil to keep all the engines running? And how will the emission of PM10s influence air quality in the ever-growing cities?
How to change mobility management
More and more people have raised the above questions, resulting in rapid changes in thinking about mobility. Political and social pressure placed on car manufacturers to find better solutions for mobility is increasing. The average emission of PM10s and carbon produced per manufactured car should be reduced; the use of fossil fuels must be limited significantly. The question is whether increased efficiency of the latest generation combustion engines will provide adequate solutions. What improvements are possible yet and how quick can such improvements be realised? Are hybrid cars and hybrid plug-in cars a compromise or an enduring alternative?
The alternative that makes sense
In fact, the solution to the mobility problems of today has been available for more than 100 years: electric driving. An electrically powered vehicle is environmental friendly and energy efficient. Accessibility of the required technology has increased considerably and it does not only make driving sound, but also much more fun.
