Technology of Future Cars

The latest report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC, recent co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize) stated, “Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely (higher than 90%) due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (human) greenhouse gas concentrations.”

Therefore at FutureCars.com define a car of the future as a vehicle designed with the environment in mind, powered by a cleaner, more efficient alternative to petroleum-based fuels.
