Environmental facts of vehicles Life cycle thinking perspective The over-exploitation of the raw materials due to the high demand of cars would lead to the depletion of non-renewable natural resources..
Air Pollution • 1. Local effects -e.g. poisoning humans breathing bad air. • 2. Regional effects - fallout from airborne pathogens - infections, particles, chemicals. • 3. Global effects - changing interactions between the atmosphere, oceans and the sun, weather effects, effects on plants and the ocean biosphere.
Water Pollution • Runoff of oil, dirt, brake dust, deposited vehicle exhaust, road particles, automotive fluids, and de-icing chemicals from roadways and parking lots. • Improperly or illegally disposed waste fluids, e.g. used motor oil. Results • Oil floats on top of water, • less sunlight penetrates into the water, limiting the photosynthesis of marine plants and phytoplankton. • Decreasing the fauna populations, • Affects the food chain in the ecosystem.
Other Types of Pollution Noise Pollution • Primary source of noise pollution in urban environments Effects on Wildlife • The primary way people kill wildlife is by automobiles. • It is estimated motor vehicles kill over a million animals in collisions every day in the US.
Green Car • Uses less petrol • Produces cleaner and fewer emissions • Run on electricity or bio fuels
Different car types • Diesel green cars • Ethanol cars • Natural gas • Electric cars • Hybrid cars
Diesel Cars • Diesel produces less greenhouse gases • Produces black smoke (particulate matter) • Better fuel mileage
Diesel Green Cars • Biodiesel is blend of diesel and vegetable oil • Every existing diesel engine is capable of using biodiesel • You can modify your diesel engines to run a fuel called straight vegetable oil SVO
Diesel Pros and Cons • Lower emission • Versatility: ability to switch between biodiesel and regular diesel • Car selection • Better mileage • Particulate matter and smog • Price • Cold weather + -
Ethanol Cars • Wheat-based fuel additive • E85 most popular (85 % ethanol 15 % gasoline) • Bioadapter can be inserted into a new car • Reduce of emissions • Fuel versatility: Either E85 or regular • Price • Car selection • Limited refueling stations + -
Natural and Bio Gas car • Cleaner-burning fossil fuel • Cleaner burning • Cars last longer • Price • Limited refueling stations • Car selection • Reduces range: CNG takes twice the space than gasoline + -
Electric Cars • Created mid-19th century • Use electrical energy stored in batteries
Electric Car Pros and Cons • significant reduction of air pollution • Noiseless • reduced greenhouse gas emissions • Not depended on foreign oil • Noiseless • Difficulties in storage batteries • Price of the vehicle • lack of public and private recharging infrastructure + -
Hybrid Cars • Full hybrids • Mild hybrid • Cannot use electric motor alone • Runs both electric and gasoline • Captures energy when braking • Auto stop start • Switches engine off at traffic lights
Hybrid Pros and Cons • Great mileage • Quiet • Smooth ride • Runs also on gasoline • Batteries • Quiet • Price + -

Automobile recycling • Car is taken to scrapyard • Sellable parts are taken off the car • Recyclable parts are taken off • The car srap is crashed and sent to the shredder • The metallic components are separated by weight to heavier and lighter metals • Separated metals are melted to ingots and sold
In new cars • Already recycled plastic parts • Manufacturers try not to use heavy metal parts • Trunk floor, door panels etc. made from recycled leather
