Auto 480 Final Presentation

1. ALTERNATIVES
TO
FOSSIL FUEL VEHICLES
PRESENTED BY:

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. SPECIAL COMPONENT OF FLEX FUEL
VEHICLE

6. 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

7. 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

8. ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY MILESTONE FROM
TOYOTA

9. 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

10. 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
• TOYOTAANNOUNCED TO SELL FROM 2015

11. CONCERN
• AVAILABILITY OF FUEL
• MATCHING WITH DRIVING NEED
• DISTANCE DRIVEN PER TANK OF FUEL
• HOW POLLUTANT FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT
• COST OF OWNERSHIP
