Lead Acid Battery Electric Vehicles
1,670 wordsThe technology of electric vehicles has been around since the turn of the nineteenth century but faded as the gasoline powered engine took the spotlight. Now the future of electric vehicles is very bright. Their impacts are very significant ranging from economic, to new technology that can be applied elsewhere, to most importantly, the environment. Ford and GM, through its Saturn plant, have already begun production on their own version of the electric vehicle and have made them available to the...

Internal Combustion Engine Twenty Five Years
1,716 words... can be made to fit these smaller cars making them inaccessible to some cars and trucks, safety will increase because of the maneuverability and low speed of the NEV and because of their small size there will be more space available to be put to other uses. These NEV's will lead to non-industrial neighborhoods. Neighborhoods will keep the industrial world and all of its problems out by making the roads smaller so they handle only NEV traffic. Households will tend to "run" less and instead of ...

Alternative Vehicle Fuel Sources
1,633 wordsAlternative Vehicle Fuel Sources For last years there is a tendency to increasing the number of vehicles in the United States. According to National Household Travel Survey this number tripled from 1969 to 2001. The same tendency is noticed in other progressive countries. Almost all of them use hydrocarbon fuels. But the sources of hydrocarbon fuels will come to end; and, most of all, carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions causes global warming. Hydrocarbon fuels, such as coal and natural gas, are burn...

One Of The First Electric Vehicles
2,512 wordsHybrid-Electric Vehicle Through the early period of the automotive industry until about 1920, electric automobiles were competitive with petroleum-fueled cars particularly as luxury cars for urban use and as trucks for deliveries at closely related points, for which the relatively low speed and limited range, until battery recharge, were not detrimental. Electrics, many of which were steered with a tiller rather than a wheel, were especially popular for their quietness and low maintenance costs....
