Time is a key factor in today's active lifestyle of people that translates into a need for fast, effective and efficient means of transportation. To cater to the needs of modern day transportation, innovative technologies are coming forth almost daily. For the tasks as common as going out to and coming back from the work place to the more complex needs of transporting goods, the automobile industry seems to be coming up with ever new concepts and producing new means of transportation.

Cars, Buses, Electric Trams and many other ways of transportation have been developed. Automobile industry is a popular industrial sector and there is ever increasing need of automobiles resulting in their increased production. New faster, safer, trendy and effective vehicles are being introduced in the market continually to cater to the needs of this ever-increasing demand. With this enhanced demand and the resultant increased production of the automobiles, a major concern which has emerged is of environmental pollution resulting from the direct exhaust emissions as well as the indirect impacts resulting from the procedures employed in the production units. This fact coupled with the fact that the fossil fuels are in limited supply and the dependence on these has to be curtailed especially for the sake of our next generations, vehicles with improved performance and with less dependence on fossil fuels are the need of the hour. Fortunately many governments, the environmentalists and the engineers are taking the matter more seriously and are trying to develop more environment friendly means of transportation to minimize environmental pollution. Newer and more efficient industrial procedures are being employed to reduce the indirect environmental pollution effect as well. To cater to these objectives, there are hybrid automobiles in the market that promise better performance and low (ill) environmental impact. Biofuels are also gaining popularity as an alternate fuel.

Solar powered automobiles and the hybrids in this context are also the ones which are not only going to reduce the dependence on the fossil fuels but also have the potential to make use of the immense and freely available source given by the nature to man, that is the solar energy. Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology is the latest and one of the most promising technologies of the future. A lot of progress on this front is already underway. The prototypes have been developed with desirable results. However, as is the case with all the evolving technologies, it has its share of the problems. It however has the potential of meeting the future needs of energy not only of the automotives but other sectors as well. It is supposed to be a contender of the least polluting technology. It can therefore be easily said that the auto industry has the potential of providing not only effective, efficient and more convenient automobiles by producing automobiles utilizing the alternate sources of energy but also contribute significantly in reducing the environmental pollution by discharging their corporate duties in a more eco friendly manner.
