One of the major
problems most developing countries facing today is air pollution and the major
source of which is automobiles running on road. To reduce the world’s pollution
problems there is no one optimum solution, but one thing is for sure; the
automobile must clean up its act. Automobile factors like an increase in fossil
fuel consumption eventually emissions of HC, NOx, and CO2
will be increased in accordance with these factors. The huge number of vehicles
in the developing countries will give a serious environmental load and
therefore current technologies like engine control and catalyst should be
transferred to developing countries to minimize automobile emissions.
The
CO2 emission ratio during actual use is extremely large compared to
other process. Therefore; it would be very effective to develop high fuel
economy and low fuel consumption from CO2 emission point of view.
Concerning resource availability there has been a strong warning indicating
that petroleum resources may be depleted in the relative near future.
Gasoline
which has been the main source of fuel for the history of cars is becoming more
and more expensive and impractical, especially from an environmental standpoint.
In the process of burning gasoline, it produces carbon monoxide, Nitrogen
oxides and unburned hydrocarbons which are the main pollutants and are
responsible for bad effects of pollution.
