	In a truly sustainable world, the automobile would be an infrequently used mode of transportation. Neighborhoods would contain the stores, shops and restaurants within walking or bike riding distance while mass transit would provide transportation to medium range destinations.
Shortly after World War II, the public was given a vision by designers and developers. Suburban neighborhoods, [...]]]></description>

Last year Volvo announced an aggressive long-term plan to drastically reduce emissions throughout their entire line of cars. Initially, Volvo released Flexifuel lower emissions vehicles, cars that can run on E85 or regular gasoline. E85 is 85% ethanol, requiring engines specially manufactured to withstand higher alcohol levels. The next step is hybrid vehicles similar to [...]]]></description>

The Tesla Roadster may not be the first eco-exotic sports car, but it is definitely making the most noise. Headed by new CEO Ze&#8217;ev Drori and backed by PayPal creator Elon Musk, the Roadster is in full production and ramping up to 100 cars per month by December. Tesla stores have opened in Los Angeles [...]]]></description>

The Lightning Car Company is the British entry into the electric sports car ring with the Lightning GT. The Brits took a different approach to the design by incorporating the Hi-Pa Drive™ motor (say it fast), a compact, highly efficient, electric-wheel motor. Instead of the traditional axel drivetrain, the Lightning GT has a dedicated motor [...]]]></description>

Ronn Car Company chose to go a different way with the Scorpion, utilizing hydrogen fuel injection. The car produces hydrogen during vehicle operation through electrolysis of water generated from the vehicle&#8217;s electrical system. The hydrogen is injected with the regular fuel allowing for up to 50 percent better fuel efficiency than gasoline alone, reducing emissions. [...]]]></description>

GINA Light Visionary Model breaks the chains of conventional principles and processes.
