As the world has started to understand the considerable impact that automobiles have on the environment, it has become crucial for us to embrace new technologies that not only increase the efficiencies of these vehicles but can also save the environment from deteriorating further. This is not a far fetched dream either, as many big names from the automobile and transportation sector have already started exploring this untapped arena.
