Most people don't know what it's like to breathe clean air from the time before the industrial revolution, we were all born into a polluted world. From our point of view, clean air is air that we breathed for the first time. And if he had stayed like that, we wouldn't even have felt the difference. But in light of the worsening air quality, we do feel the difference and are aware of the problem. Fortunately, pollution from transportation is in the process of being curbed.

The USA, Europe, South America and Asian countries all report that there has been an unexpected increase in the registration of the new green vehicles on the roads. Various countries, cities and authorities report significant savings in the costs of maintaining public vehicle fleets and the continued improvement of air quality following the transition to hybrid vehicles, electric buses, and means of transportation powered by green technologies. Commercial companies report a continued increase in investments in the field of green vehicles and the implementation of new technologies in order to lead the future automotive industry that will be based on non-polluting engines.

These are not fictitious stories, nor are they predictions for the future - these are headlines of news across the Internet on sites dealing with transportation technology. Brazil, the pioneer in the field of bio-fuel, announced an increase in the production of hybrid vehicles and a continuous increase in the registration of hybrid vehicles compared to normal vehicles. In New York, success stories of companies that operate taxis and limousines are published every day - the savings in fuel expenses pay back the investment within a year or two, the profit is not only financial but also public in regards to air quality. London bans polluting cars from entering the city center, thereby encouraging people to buy green cars and pushing manufacturers to invest more in pollution-preventing technologies. Car manufacturers in the Far East report an unexpected increase in orders for hybrid vehicles. Municipal corporations around the world are increasingly relying on electric-powered buses. Truck corporations from Scandinavia are moving to produce trucks powered by green energy. The Israeli government is promoting the electric vehicle project. These are just some of the examples, and the trend is clear.

Car shows around the world present the best technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy. The entire automotive industry is changing its face and priorities. Although there is no mature technology accepted by all manufacturers to replace an engine based on fossil fuel, the various alternatives are gaining momentum.

  1. The next step is to introduce green vehicles into car leasing and rental services.

  2. And following that, you can see that the insurance companies are adopting the new green trend (hoping that it will be more than a trend, of course) and are starting to offer insurances that are mainly intended for this market, including discounts for the "green" insurers.

  3. I am totally in favor of green vehicles. The more we resist helping the environment, the more we will help ourselves

  4. The purchase of green vehicles should be encouraged through various benefits for buyers. In the end, the private consumer is significantly motivated by price considerations. If there is a public interest, the state should help. If the taxes and insurance costs for green vehicles are reduced, more people will buy them.

  5. Electric bicycles, an amazing product, when will it be possible to use them legally in Israel like in Europe, the USA and the rest of the world. In the meantime, enjoy a bikeboard, a personal and green electric vehicle of course. It has 3 wheels, lithium batteries and it can travel up to 60 km on a single charge .

  6. Is the future already here? It is not clear
    But as far as these cars are concerned, it seems that the future is indeed here.
    So what awaits us in the world of cars?
    I have my own opinion, in my opinion the cars will disappear completely over the years. In a global era, we can't even own a car and drive it. The world will be one big traffic jam
    And so it's kind of scary

  7. I have an 11-year-old girl who really wants to go karting and unfortunately all karting in Israel are for children 14 and older.
    To my surprise, I heard about a place that is located in the west of Rishon Lezion in Shikma Park where there is a company that operates the attractions in the park. There is an electric karting that runs on batteries that travels at a speed of 12 km/h and is suitable for children from 5 to 14 years old.
    An electric karting experiment was conducted there, the batteries being charged by solar energy - very interesting.
    There is also a park train that travels around the park.
    There are also family bikes for four people.
    There are cars that collide on a battery for smaller children.
    And there is an inflatable complex that is suitable for several ages.
    You can spend half a day there without any problems
    The park has hundreds of acres of green grass, trees, playgrounds for the whole family, seating areas and shade.
    Many facilities free of charge: Omega, hockey fields, skates, basketball and basketball, sandboxes and challenging facilities for children.
    The place is open all year round from 10 am to 10 pm.
    I asked a few questions and here they are:
    Is it possible to have birthdays or a class formation party?
    Yes, you just need to coordinate by calling 054-6886930.
    Is there insurance on site?
    Yes.
    What happens if the child is unable to travel alone?
    One of the parents is allowed to travel with the child together.
    Is it possible to drive slower?
    Yes, there is a button that allows you to lower the speed from 12 km/h to 6 km/h.
    I highly recommend the place for family fun, you just need to bring food and drink because you can't buy it on the spot.
    The place is called Activepark and it is located at the corner of Bar Lev and Moshe Dayan streets in the west of Rishon Lezion in front of the new Mega complex.
    There is plenty of free parking and if there is no space, you can park for free in the Mega parking lot in front of the park
    Their site: http://www.activipark.dpages.co.il - It is recommended to enter

  8. to ask
    Calm down, all the science commenters are firm in their opinion that you do not intend to eliminate our Michael.
    Have a good day, hybrid, and may everyone drive carefully and below the speed of light.

  9. Saul, since when does a smaller engine volume consume less fuel and pollute less? The fuel consumption of a car is mainly influenced by the weight of the car, the technology of the engine and the driving profile. If you have a car that is large relative to the engine capacity, you consume even more fuel and pollute more trying to achieve non-existent acceleration. On the other hand, a car with a small weight consumes less fuel, but its owner pays a heavy price in terms of his safety. And the cars that really consume a lot of fuel and pollute the most are the off-road vehicles, but that's another story.

    I'm afraid you did not come to the end of my mind.
    How do you think I should change the culture?
    After all, if I follow your advice, I will switch to traveling by bicycle instead of by car. In terms of physical ability it is possible and this app may improve my physical fitness until I reach it.
    What do you expect me to do then? What will be the effect of Drassati on the culture? Will she not frighten anyone (as the trampling of others frightens me)? Do you expect that at this point I will start visiting the people in a dream and tell them that nothing happened and I just moved to a world that is all good (as you know, I do not believe in such a world nor in the soul remaining after the death of the body)?
    As I mentioned, even if this act of suicide was to create a culture change in others (and I think it is not the case) I have no intention of donating my body to culture.
    On the other hand, I assure you that hybrid cars consume less fuel than your economy car and allow you to add more people to the ride.

  11. to Judah,

    You, in fact, propose to interpret my words as an activist interpretation that teaches that I tried to eliminate Michael... Am I crazy? After all, I blessed him with longevity...

    I personally walk (about seven kilometers a day) the same way that others fly in their car or by public transport. I also own a very fuel efficient car (1300 cc); Which teaches that it is possible to save on pollutant emissions even without making a 'hybrid' wind.

    Bye

  12. To Michael
    I wonder why Saul doesn't offer himself for kamikaze trips by bicycle on the roads of our holy land and sends you
    But on the other hand, what do you care, ride a bike, take a risk and after the accident God forbid they will write a special article about Michael's altruism thanks to him the evolution of the bicycle developed.
    Of course Shaul will say that everything is in the hands of Heaven, and this is proof that there is a God.
    Have a good evening

  13. To Michael,

    You as an individual do not have to commit suicide, but as an individual you can try to be a partner in changing the culture that as a culture limits the perception of the world, in our case it is the modern consumer culture that instead of solving a problem by thinking backwards (which is sometimes desirable) invents a new product to satisfy the lust for consumerism and ostentatiousness that consumer culture brings in its wings (I alluded to this when I mentioned that the hybrid car is IN).

    In general, when you purchase a hybrid car, you are justifying the establishment of a factory and development methods that themselves at the time released a lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere...

    In general, the size of the cities in Israel is very far from the size of 'normal' cities abroad, and it is certainly possible to cover any distance by bicycle or on foot (in long-distance travel - as far as I know - the hybrid car hardly saves).

    Bye

    Your suggestions are impractical in the sense that they do not call for specific action on the part of the individual. You simply stand as a preacher at the gate, but instead of preaching a certain action that the individual can justify from his personal point of view, you simply grumble.
    If there were other people, the world would obviously look different. So what?
    I have no intention of committing suicide for Kiddush, the fact that if everyone were riding bicycles, the action that led to my suicide would have kept me alive.
    I have an intention and I am even working to ensure adequate infrastructures for riding bicycles (those that your response to my response actually harms their promotion) and to adopt futuristic solutions in the future. As you know - everything that will happen in the future is futuristic.

  15. To Michael,

    A. As more and more people ride bicycles instead of driving, less and less courage will be required.

    B. No need for futuristic solutions. If all the stakeholders had 'spoiled' a little less, we would have had a normal railway infrastructure a long time ago.

    Bye…

  16. In our country, riding a bicycle is not only a matter of habit but also a matter of courage. Personally, I really like to travel by bike, but, in the absence of suitable infrastructure, I do not dare to do so for transportation needs and I am content with the gym and field trips.
    On the subject of intra-urban transportation, there are already (for now only on paper) really fascinating solutions, such as a network of small electric cars that functions as a kind of horizontal elevator - with the implementation of which a person will be able to order a car to the door of his house with the push of a button (or several buttons), tap the destination address (further from his home - to allow optimization) or when he is inside the train, and simply sit in the train and read a newspaper until he reaches his destination without traffic jams or accidents (because everything is planned by a computer) and at a low cost both from the customer's point of view and from the point of view of the environment.

  17. It seems to me that saving in pollutant emissions would be achieved in a much more significant way if the infrastructures were more developed, and more and more people would travel by train (regular or light or subway), or if people would get used to making every trip within the city (and especially in our country) by bicycle; But it's clear that it's more pleasant to be 'green' when it's also in a futuristic car...

  18. I am happy to say that even in the area where I live (Herzliya) the hybrids are gaining momentum. They are seen even more than the sayings!
    It is true that this is the stronghold of the wealthy, and the real test will be when private individuals for whom the economic consideration is more dominant will also choose a hybrid, but this is also something...

  19. Sorry, but where is the article?

    The topic is very important and interesting, but where is the content?
    I would expect an article on a science website to bring little more than a headline,
    For example, what about any data regarding the sale of cars and the growth rate,
    And maybe also details about future prospects and the amount of pollution you will save.
    And if we're talking about science, then maybe also details about existing and future technologies.

    Hoping for an article on this fascinating topic,
    Amichai

  20. And what does the stock market say?
    While the yield on the price of oil was excellent this year
    The yield in green energy was negative.
    So the green shit doesn't come close to the performance of oil.

  21. To my father Blizovsky

    Samrat Mani's advertisement is superimposed on the article and it is difficult to delete it to read the article.
    Please note.

  22. What about the stories about cars powered by water, which breaks down into energy-rich elemental hydrogen and oxygen, and water vapor comes out of the exhaust, which would really be a real green revolution, I saw a program on TV more than 10 years ago that there is such a thing and I haven't heard about it since, interesting... does anyone know ?
