Internal Combustion Engines : Introduction 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.
Immediate Needs
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.
