Conclusion

Automobiles are large contributer to the environmental pollution. The different fuel consumption and air pollution models discussed in this report help us to estimate how much fuel we are using and the amount of pollutants we are releasing in the atmosphere. As the population and number of vehicles are increasing abruptly, more amounts of pollutants are being discharged. If this trend continues, there will not be any more energy sources left for the future generations. Also, the world will be so polluted that living organisms may not be able to thrive. Hence, we need to understand the importance of saving the environment. Alternate sources of fuels for e.g. renewable sources can be used which also help in reducing the pollution. Our aim must be to preserve the nature and have the environment, along with a sustainable transportation system.
