But much more can be done with technology. Only 12% of wellhead oil energy is actually driving a car's wheels. The challenge is to find ways to reduce the heat and friction in powering a car and thus reduce fuel consumption and the emission of pollutants.
The Challenge:
Significantly increase this efficiency.
