What are green cars? The term green cars is used to describe vehicles that have a small carbon footprint, or a low impact on the environment. Currently, this means either a compact car or a hybrid car. The automotive industry has started to shift in producing more green cars due to pressures from consumers and the government. But the industry is just starting.
Over the coming decades, you will see an evolution of vehicles that will eventually become electric cars. There are going to be several stepping stones in getting there though.
It will take time for the automotive industry to find new innovative ways to make vehicles that have significantly less impact on the environment. But the future of green cars has now clearly turned into a race that all auto makers are striving to win.
