PROBLEMATIC
IF ONE TRIES TO SELL YOU A SHOVEL TO KILL A FLY, IT APPEARS YOU SENSE?
Well that's a good PART OF THE PROBLEM IN TRANSPORT. EXCESS WEIGHT is sold by making us believe that this is what is best. Even the worst solution became energy efficient now. Finally, for most people, they will GO INTO DEBT to pay for that excess weight!
Want an example, in AVERAGE ALONE IN MY 1000 TO 2000 kg VEHICLE, GOING TO GROCERY STORE; I'm not only lagging 10 TIMES OVER MASS, but I'm taking up TOO MUCH SPACE ON THE ROAD, have TROUBLE FOR PARKING and HATE GOING to the city center. Moreover, it is in URBAN CONDITIONS THAT THE ENGINE COSTS ME MORE IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
AND EVERYTHING IS THEREFORE! this OVERWEIGHT IMPLIES MORE NEEDS IN MATERIAL RESOURCES AND ENERGY AT ALL LEVELS. It then increases the WASTE of a NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES, OIL. By burning it, we broadcast into the atmosphere CARBON SEQUESTERED FOR MILLENNIA IN UNDERGROUND. From the point of view of physics, if the planet can not sequester this carbon at the same rate it is burned, it will AFFECT CHEMICAL BALANCE OF THE ATMOSPHERE. As one of the products of combustion is CO2, THE INCREASE at the global level is a FIRST INDICATOR of this fact.
BUILD AND USE BALANCE VEHICLES
We propose and demonstrate that EVOLUTION IN TRANSPORTATION is possible and should be WORLDWIDE. It is based on SIMPLE PHYSICS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY; REDUCE WEIGTH and USE THE RIGHT VEHICLE in FUNCTION OF YOUR NEED. To achieve this, a DESIGN PRINCIPLE is adopted for our vehicles, THE CASI.
Then we aim a DIVERSIFICATION OF DRIVES MODES and ENERGY SOURCES with the most SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES. The goal is to be more SELF-GOVERNING for our way to do things.
Finally, RESPECT ENVIRONMENT is RESPECT OF PHYSICS and allows us to offer the best and most FIT PERFORMANCE VEHICLES. That's what show our prototypes. Moreover, it allows us to REDUCE OUR COLLECTIVE DEBT and STOP WASTING RESOURCES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS WITHOUT LOSING our COMFORT and our CAPACITY TO MOVE!
