  2. WHAT ARE GREEN AUTOMOBILES? • Green automobiles such as the Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf, are vehicles that are environmentally friendly • They don’t run on gasoline Automobiles that run on fuel alternatives display America’s progressiveness into an environmentally conscious and economical society.

  3. THE CAUSE OF DEVELOPMENT • In the 1900s, Ford had a vision to create affordable cars that were accessible by everyone • Liege, 1906-1910 • Auto-Mixte cars were built with Henri Pieper’s hybrid system • Global warming • Air pollution • Rising oil prices

  7. PIEPER vs. FORD • March 2, 1909 • HENRI PIEPER: US patent for the first gas-electric hybrid • Bad Timing  1908: Ford releases the Model T “It would cement the primacy of gasoline engine to power road vehicles” • Result: Steam/electric cars fade to the back • 1930s: Hybrid and electric vehicles are no longer in production

  8. FORD MOTOR CO. • Established in 1905 • 1908 release of the Model T • Simple, light, study for the poorly maintained roads • Main focus: Affordable cars for everyone • 1910: 34,000 cars at $700 each • 1916: 730,000 cars at $316 each • Introduced Fordism • “Economic system based on mass production and mass consumption”

  9. HYBRIDS TODAY: TOYOTA PRIUS • Prius is Latin for “to go before” • Late 1995: first prototypes wouldn’t work • “On the computer, the hybrid power system worked very well… But simulation is different from seeing if the actual part can work” –SATOSHI OGISO, chief powertain engineer • Gas- electric • “…first vehicle to provide a serious alternative…” • Batteries were troublesome  • Shut down when it was too hot/cold

  10. HYBRIDS TODAY: TOYOTA PRIUS • Finally released in October 1997 in Japan • July 2000, U.S. debut • Wasn’t liked • Took 13 seconds to get to 60 mph (Corolla only needed 10) • Sold in more than 40 countries • “…the most fuel efficient vehicle sold by the U.S. EPA” Best selling hybrid in the U.S. • 2007: More than 180,000 sold • Early 2008: Hit all time record of 20,000 sales

  11. HYBRIDS TODAY:SMART CAR “Smart is an acronym for Swatch Mercedes Art” • Daimler- Benz, 1994 • First meeting • Subcompact, eco-friendly, affordable, safe • 2004: Debut in Canada • 2008: Debut in America • The last to have them • Available in 37 countries • Popular in Paris, Barcelona, London, Rome

  15. HYBRIDS TODAY:FORD FOCUS • Ford Explorer 2011: soy foam cushions • Using more bio-based soy foam • “…ongoing effort to use more renewable and recyclable materials” • More than 2 million vehicles on the road that use bio foam • Reduce petroleum oil usage by 3 million lbs. • Reduce carbon dioxide emission by 11 million lbs. • Also used in Lincoln and Mercury • “The new Explorer will deliver fuel economy at least 25 percent better than the current model as well as include sustainable materials like soy foam seat cushions and other eco-friendly features we will detail soon,” -AMY MARENTIC, group marketing manager, Ford cars and CUVs • Plan to use biomaterial for deflectors, cupholders, and floor mats
