Transportation Methods > Cars
According to London’s Department for Transport, car traffic was 243.8 billion vehicle miles in 2010, accounting for 79.1 per cent of all motor vehicle traffic. Car traffic has accounted for about 80 per cent of all motor vehicle traffic in Britain since 1980. Today, there are 600 million vehicles on the planet. Will we soon hit a state many have dubbed « peak-car »? Luckily, alternatives to fuel-powered cars are popping up everywhere.

Toyota's Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle
Toyota presents their new technologies on their FCHV, Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle. This means that fuel cell produces electricity using hydrogen, together with oxygen and water comes out and electricity; and that is driving the car. It will be on the market 3 or 4 years from now and one of the challenges is the few Hydrogen charging stations. The hydrogen is the carrier of energy and it's all clean and has the same level of safety as conventional cars.
