There are many modern day inventions that are affecting our environment and it is important we manage and control the usage of these to protect our environment.

Cars are one of the main products that produce a large amount of emissions; therefore many manufacturers have been turning towards creating eco friendly cars.

The most eco-friendly car would be the one that runs completely on a battery. This means there is no need for fuel. Although this may be good news for the environment, there are some drawbacks. There are cars available to customers; however the engines themselves are limited. Also, after travelling about 100 miles, the battery will need to be charged again.

The hybrid car is becoming more popular and available for customers. The car runs on both battery and fuel. The fuel is used when more power is needed for a certain speed so the battery does not need to be charged as frequently.

Many well known manufacturers have produced popular hybrid cars. Toyota has developed the Prius, which sells for about $22,000 and is among some of the hot selling cars. The Ford Fusion Hybrid has received many awards and is priced at about $27,000. The Ford Fusion has been awarded the leading hybrid car on the market in the United States.

As time goes on and environment issues become more topical, manufacturers will be striving to produce economical and environmentally friendly cars available to the whole public.
