FOSSIL FUEL

• LIMITED QUANTITY

• AUTOMOBILES ARE PRIMARILY DEPENDENT

• OTHER INDUSTRIES USES THIS SOURCE OF

ENERGY

• TAKES VERY LONG TIME TO RENEW

• POLLUTANT FOR ENVIRONMENT

• WE NEED TO LOOK FOR OTHER SOURCES OF

ENERGY

AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVES

SOME OF THE CHOICES ARE......

• FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES - E85

• ELECTRIC VEHICLES

• HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS

• GASOLINE ELECTRIC HYBRIDS

• PLUG-IN HYBRIDS

• BIO DIESEL

• CNG

FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLE

• USES VARIABLE MIX OF ETHANOL AND

REGULAR GASOLINE

• USES UP TO 85% OF ETHANOL AND 15%

GASOLINE

• ADJUSTS INJECTOR PULSES BASED ON

THE FUEL

• 10% ETHANOL IS MANDATED BY

FEDERAL

• LESS CARBON FOOTPRINT

• POWER DENSITY IS LOWER THAN

GASOLINE

• POSSIBLE TO PRODUCE FROM

• BEET, HEMP, POTATOES, SWITCH

GRASS, BARLEY, CORN, SUGAR

CANE, FRUIT, OTHER PLANTS

• CORN AND SUGAR CANE ARE

PRIMARILY USED.

• ARGUMENTS OVER TURNING HUMAN

FOOD INTO MOTOR FUEL

SPECIAL COMPONENT OF FLEX FUEL VEHICLE

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES

• TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED

• GASOLINE ENGINE AND HIGH VOLTAGE

BATTERY

• ELECTRIC POWER BELOW 25 MPH

• CHARGE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY

• GASOLINE ENGINE IS MAIN SOURCE OF

ENERGY

• REGENERATIVE BREAKING SYSTEM

• HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM IS BRIGHT ORANGE

COLOR

• HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM REQUIRES SPECIAL

HAND GLOVE

PLUG-IN HYBRID

• SIMILAR TO GASOLINE ELECTRIC HYBRID

• POSSIBLE TO CHARGE FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET

• STRONGER BATTERY PACK

• GOOD FOR STOP AND GO DRIVING

• ALL ELECTRIC RANGE ABOUT 100 MILES

• COVERS 90% OF U.S. HOUSEHOLD DRIVING

RANGE

ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY MILESTONE FROM TOYOTA

ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES

• RANGE ABOUT 100 MILES

• ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE

• NO TAILPIPE EMISSIONS -- CO, CO2, HC, NOX

• ABOUT 2-4 CENTS PER MILE (DEPENDS ON PRICE OF

ELECTRICITY)

• NOT GOOD FOR TAKING TO LONG DRIVE

• CHARGING TIME IS LONG

• PUBLIC CHARGING STATIONS ARE NOT WIDELY

AVAILABLE

HYDROGEN FUEL CELL

• HYDROGEN AS ANODE OXYGEN AS CATHODE

• POSSIBLE TO USE 83% ENERGY OF

HYDROGEN

• HUNDREDS OF FUEL CELL ARE STACKED

• 300 MILES WITH A TANK OF HYDROGEN

• WATER VAPOR IS THE ONLY EXHAUST

• LEASE VEHICLES ARE AVAILABLE

• NOT AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMER YET

• TOYOTA ANNOUNCED TO SELL FROM 2015

CONCERN

• AVAILABILITY OF FUEL

• MATCHING WITH DRIVING NEED

• DISTANCE DRIVEN PER TANK OF FUEL

• HOW POLLUTANT FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT

• COST OF OWNERSHIP
