They prefer the feeling of safety in a larger vehicle or the way the engine sounds, things you do not normally get with an electric or hybrid vehicle. When the price of gas drops drastically, you may hear that SUV sales have gone up. This is how people react to the low prices of gas. The gas is cheaper which means they can afford more, leading them to buy a vehicle that uses more gas, because they can afford to pay for more gas. As the prices reach high levels, there…
Five years from now I hopeful see myself owning a place of my own and having a career as a automotive technician or as a commercial pilot. Something i enjoy doing. "You only live this life one time, have fun."- Baddie Winkle I became an automotive enthusiasts in 7th grade. Dreamed of owning my own car to my liking and later in life becoming an Automotive technician. My first favorite car was the Audi a4. I thought it was cool, fast and it had awd. My older brother Sam who more experienced…
having to go to a gas station again. Now imagine that you could do that for less than 20,000 dollars. If you like the sound of that then the Tesla model 3 is your dream car.

The Tesla model 3 is a five seat sedan that is a completely electric car with the capability of a gasoline engine car... and some. With its watermelon sized engine the Model 3…
standards dictate how much pollution autos may emit, and automakers decide how to achieve the pollution limits. The emission reductions of the 1970's came about because of fundamental improvements in engine design, plus the addition of charcoal canisters to collect hydrocarbon vapors and exhaust gas recirculation valves to reduce nitrogen oxides. The advent of "first generation" catalytic converters in 1975 significantly reduced hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. The use of catalytic…

steam-powered, 27% gasoline-powered, and 20% electric. Hybrid vehicles concepts have been successful in the past and they were not publically noticed until November of 1905. (Curtis D. Anderson, p.36) Electric cars since struggled to keep up with their gas-powered counterparts until the stock market crash of 1929. Major companies that produced electric vehicles went bankrupt. The production of the electric car was put to a halt and wasn’t seen again until World War II. Many different productions…
electric, compressed natural gas, and diesel highbred vehicles. It is estimated that hydrogen from natural gas could prove to be the best alternative fuel as the energy system transitions away from petroleum. This is due partly to the fact that natural gas infrastructure that was built during the Abundant Petroleum Era can be repurposed to construct a major component in the hydrogen infrastructure. This is augmented to the fact that onsite hydrogen generation that uses natural gas…
with other energy powering fuel, although citing the prohibitive cost involved, however the introduction of the legislation forced many automakers to seek innovation into alternate ways of the automobile powering fuel with efficient and effective engines with internal combustion to reduce pollution to the environment. A research by Mckinsey & Company (August 2013) customer demands and regulation for emission and safety have added cost unlikely to be passed to consumers, product differentiation…
