Should cars be more efficient?Since the industrial revolution, enormous progress has been made in the discovery and use of new technologies and different types of fuel for transportation purposes. Before the advent of the modern automobile, the widely used means of transportation were horses, carriages, and walking. These means of transportation posed major challenges because moving supplies from one warehouse to another was difficult. However, with the introduction of the first car, it was a big step towards eliminating most barriers to transportation. With the advent of the automobile came a corresponding need to consume more fuel in the form of oil and gas. Initially, the environmental impact of vehicle emissions was not felt because it could not be detected for a few years. However, the cumulative effects of vehicle emissions on the environment have led to the phenomenon of global warming. The resulting heated debate centered on whether auto industry players and governments should work to make cars more fuel efficient. This paper explains whether it is worth investing in making cars more efficient with the aim of reducing the degree of pollution from current types of cars. Additionally, he questions whether the focus should be on making cars for profit.

Although some opponents of the idea have cited the potential lack of a ready market, it is clear from the debate that resources can be mobilized to make new cars affordable. Efficient cars will promote clean and efficient transportation. Alternatives such as hybrid and electric vehicles and technologies such as aerodynamics and direct injection gasoline engines can be leveraged to make this project a reality. The economy would benefit greatly from the considerable savings spent on oil importation and many employment opportunities would be created. The costs resulting from the impacts of global warming represent a huge burden on the economy. It would be a relief for the economy if more efficient cars were produced.
