Eco-friendly Cars
Lately, automobile manufacturers are concentrating more on introducing eco-friendly cars. Making use of natural fuels like ethanol, compressed gas, natural gas, and bio-diesel leaves the environment free of contamination. These natural fuels can also save us from importing petroleum products. The success of eco-friendly cars in foreign countries has made prominent car manufacturers think of launching more such models in India. The environment friendly car launched by General Motors in California is known as Hy-wire and looks more like a child’s car, but performs really well.
The main aspect of so called hybrid cars is retaining and preserving nature. The usage of these fuels also make the efficiency of the engine last longer, because it does not leave any residue in the carburetor, which bothers many car owners. These environment-friendly fuels enable the vehicle to run smoothly and with considerable power.
India’s first eco-friendly car, Maini Reva, has long back hit the Indian roads. Though it is seen very rarely on the roads, it really saves the environment and the pocket. This is an electric passenger car, which makes use of a battery and leaves the atmosphere free of pollutants like carbon-di-oxide and smoke. This peppy car moves skillfully on city roads. However, on the flip side, its performance and speed drops considerably on roads with ditches and potholes.
Reva with all its standard equipments turns out quiet expensive. It can afford to seat only two comfortably with the rear space much suited to fill shopping bags. The manufacturers seem to have concentrated more on saving the environment and not much on its reliability. The Reva leaves a lot to be desired.
Seeing the growth of Reva on Indian roads, Toyota Motors is planning to launch their version of the eco-friendly car 'Prius'. Hybrid eco-friendly cars are selling like hot-cakes all over the globe and the sales statistics are expected to rise further if the Indian automobile sector can also be captured.
Compared to the facilities offered, these cars are pricey. These cars use a battery to move on and, when completely charged, it can travel for 60 kilometers. However, once the car is bought, it is extremely economical. It is best suited as a second car that helps you move around within city limits.
