Auto industry has realized the importance of developing technologies that help to minimize vehicular pollution and is now bringing out 'green' models.

The10th edition of India’s Auto expo saw a bevy of magnificent automobiles that proved to be more than feast for the eyes. People crazy about bikes and cars received the perfect gift for the New Year - a range of green machines. Leading automobile manufacturers presented bikes and cars that don’t run on petrol, diesel or any carbon based fossil fuels. Electric cars were launched by the likes of Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra and so on. Hydrogen was explored with the launch of the world’s first hydrogen-fuelled, zero-emission motorcycle by a UK company. Even students from various colleges across the country pitched in to give their share of green contribution to the auto expo by inventing stylish two, three and four wheeler eco-friendly vehicles.

Hydrogen seems a relatively new unconventional source as compared to the solar energy that has been much talked about, though not yet implemented on a large scale.
