We're experiencing the greatest transformation in the transportation system since the early 1900's when gasoline powered cars triumphed over electric. Lithium battery chemistries have enabled electrified transportation to finally catch up with gasoline, giving designers more vehicle design options. At the same time concerns about the environment, health effects of burning fossil fuels, greenhouse gas emissions, energy security, oil supply, peak oil, land use, resource utilization and more are forcing us to reconsider the design of the transportation system.
What is 'Green' Transportation?
Why change the transportation system?
- Environmental threats forcing transportation system changes (TBD)
- Health effects forcing transportation system changes (TBD)
- Climate effects forcing transportation system changes (TBD)
