Description:
Hybrid fuel / electric cars have been around for a few years now. They are more expensive to purchase and maintain when compared to the standard petrol engine vehicles. Withing the last 5 years,however, we have seen a move towards more enviromentally friendly solutions for our transporation needs. These include hydrogen fuel cells, solar energy, biofuels and more traditionally bicycles.
Enablers:
o Kyoto Protocol
o Geo political events
o Hydrogen fuel cells
