Improving Fuel Economy of Vehicles
Improving Fuel Economy of Vehicles is of value to the economy and also to the environment. However a lot of fuel is wasted in traffic snarls. There is a need to find a solution to the traffic snarls. A paradigm shift in thinking and a quantum leap in technology is needed. What is happening now is searching for a better version of the same old thing. Electric cars, hybrid cars, fuel efficient cars, transit vehicles, high speed rail, new laws & rules, will give a marginal improvement and will not address multiple issues confronting mobility. The new need is for Special Purpose Vehicles which are designed from new basic concepts. The US will have to invite global participation to create an invention which will eradicate all the problems faced with mobility. One such technology is being developed in India which involves concepts which addresses issues like accidents, pollution, environment, traffic snarls, grid lock, installation cost, installation time, operating cost, land acquisition, forest cover, animal habitat, loss of farmland, loss of livelihood, fuel imports, fuel economy, parking issues, travel autonomy, all in one invention, Special Purpose Vehicle. Mobility issues need to be tackled at a new level of thinking and from a new point of view of technology.
