Should cars be more efficient?Since the industrial revolution, enormous strides have been made in terms of discovering and using new technologies and different types of fuel for transportation. Before the advent of the modern automobile, horses, carriages and walking were widely used means of transportation. These means of transportation presented great challenges because transporting supplies from one warehouse to another was difficult. However, with the introduction of the first automobile, it was a major step toward eliminating most transportation barriers. The advent of automobiles was accompanied by the corresponding need to consume more fuel in the form of oil and gas. Initially, the environmental impact of vehicle emissions was not perceived because it was not possible to detect it within 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 was whether automotive industry stakeholders and governments should work to make cars more fuel efficient. This document explains whether it is worth investing in making cars more efficient in an attempt to reduce the amount of pollution resulting from current types of cars. Furthermore, there is debate as to whether the focus should be on producing cars with the aim of making profits. Indeed, the general idea presented in the document is what should be the best way to ensure that the vehicles produced are efficient for individuals, the environment and the economy in general. There is no doubt that automobiles have become a way of life in today's society, in addition to the transportation sector, it contributes immensely to the economic growth of every country......in the automotive industry, the government, consumers and environmentalists have an indispensable role to play in meeting this agenda. Although some opponents of this idea have cited the potential lack of a ready market, it is clear from the discussion that resources can be directed towards making 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 gas engines can be leveraged to make this feat a reality. The economy would benefit greatly from saving a lot of money on oil imports and many job 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.
