Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines : Introduction Wish You A Happy New Year 2016!!!! P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department In the 21st century, innovations in sustainable transportation will gain importance… A new type of mobility must take over the leading role in road transportation this century.
Challenges to Future transportation systems • The price of petroleum products Time. • The number of passenger cars Time. • The trends indicate the largest growth rate to be in freight transportation in all industrial sectors. • The number of commercial vehicles is expected to increase by about 55 % in the next 20 years. • A new type of mobility must take over the leading role in road transportation this century. • The time interval of transformation is still unclear and depends on a lot of economically and ecologically influenced factors.
