Economic and environmental advantages
Widespread adoption of LoCar vehicles would improve fuel efficiency of global road transport in about 20% for diesel oil and 35% for gasoline.
Mainstream use of LoCar vehicles would reduce local pollution and global carbon emissions from road transport, a major consumer of fossil fuels.
Potential cuts in carbon emissions by this sector are in the order of 20-35% for LoCar vehicles with standalone BTS engines, and 35-45% for LoCar fuel-electric hybrids with incorporated BTS engines.
