The doomsday is nearing with carbon level increasing day by day with more and more use of fossil fuels. Everyone is aware of the global warming and the curious case of non- renewable energy causing much problem to the climate. An honest try to reduce the carbon footprints and fuels is to use the green cars. Though there are not many green cars available in the market, there are concepts coming out from many car manufacturers. These concept cars may not see the daylight at all. But we don’t want to be so pessimistic yet. Take a look at top 10 green concept cars.

Honda FC Sport

  • Three Seat
  • Hydrogen Fuel Cell
  • High power fuel cell stack located between rear seats.
  • battery pack placed low in the middle of the vehicle

  • Three thousand lithium-ion batteries
  • 105 horsepower.

Volkswagen Chameleon

  • Has the look and feel of 1960s.
  • All-electric drive powered by lithium polymer batteries
  • Ten 30-volt batteries under the van’s floor can provide a range of about 100 miles

Conclusion

It seems that the ethanol fueled cars are the main competitor to the conventional car in future when the petroleum fuels will be dying out. Bio-Diesel cars which run on a mixture of vegetable oils are also a good option for the future.

But the best option will always be electric cars with  solar panel to charge them. We want to see more research and development in this field of rechargeable cars.

There are some hybrid cars in our list which runs on conventional petroleum fuel or gasoline. You may be wondering if they can be called green at all. But the energy efficiency that they can provide is much higher than the conventional internal combustion engine architecture. We call those cars green which helps the earth to stay green. So that perhaps justifies our effort to take them all under the same hood in the quest of a better life for the humankind.
