Environmentally Vladucu Paula Livia friendly means of transport The life quality of about 97% of European citizens which are living in urban areas is directly influenced by the urban environment quality, these ones being exposed at pollution levels which exceed the qualitative objectives established for the EU. Electric locomotive The emergence of electric locomotive in the late nineteenth century, represents a milestone in the history of rail transport. Its evolution was favored by the advantages it offers: facility and safe operation, higher powers and compliance with environmental princes. The first experiments were carried out in Germany:
German Locomotive TAURUS,
made by Siemens The most modern type: Curiosity! In Hungary: "Willy" - the first train in the world that runs on solar panels. According to the developers, so the trains will move himself all conventional electric trains in Europe because they are more environmentally friendly. GREEN CARS, friends with nature Ecocars Green cars could bring big changes in terms of the evolution of global warming. Green cars are based on hydrogen, and what issue is neither more nor less than water. The engine of this car is based on the reaction between oxygen and hydrogen. So it's a biochemical reaction, creating energy. The speed of such machines does not exceed the mostly 45 miles per hour, but the city is ideal, especially considering the traffic. It can go about 160 miles on one tank of hydrogen. These machines not only consume less, but protects . In addition to those mentioned above, there are cars that run on biodiesel made from rapeseed oil. This is biodiesel, ecological biodiesel.
! In Iceland there are already first hydrogen
station in Europe, which produces oxygen and hydrogen with water and electricity. The bicycle Transport and especially individual transport is not only a question of energy consumption or emissions but also space. On the streets of a city we see on each side of their cars, large parking spaces in front of supermarkets or covered parking. Cycling has a major role in any Sustainable Urban Transport Plan. It helps reduce congestion, air pollution and local emissions that cause global warming. 23% of car trips are less than 2 miles (about 3 km), a distance that can be covered easily by bike in less than 15 minutes. If people choose to do some of these trips by bike, we could have a considerable impact on local congestion and pollution. Benefits: Save the urban space Save money Promote health and wellbeing Without waiting for congestion Without urban noise Reduce stress Strengthen muscles Other green transport: Tram Subway Skateboard Parachute Rowboat and … The horse For a long time, the horse was the fastest means of transport. Let’s be grateful for: To be continued…
