Car Industries Turning Green

"Industries moving away from speed and horsepower to green alternatives"

Car industries are making a change in the direction from one of speed to a basis of more fuel efficient cars. Due to the rise in gas prices and other factors. A main reason behind this change is an energy bill requiring more miles per gallon. Automakers are now trying to make there new models get more mileage on a gallon of gasoline, cut down on carbon dioxide emissions, and using alternate power sources.
Dieter Zetsche the chief executive of Daimler AG has pushed the idea of a diesel strategy to improve its fuel efficiency. This may be a good thought because diesel burns cleaner ans would help reduce the carbon dioxide emissions as well as more miles to the gallon. Many automakers have made their vehicles more fuel efficient in the recent years but many gains have been offset by increases in horsepower and weight.
President Bush signed an energy bill in late December that requires " the industries new fleet of cars, SUV's, pickup trucks and vans to average 35 miles per gallon by 2020, a 40 % increase". It was the first major change in the Car Industry since the 70's.
