Human race has undergone a tremendous transition in the past century with computers breaking every limit and making every dream a possibility. The flexibility of this micro processor driven machine has brought an enormous technological advancement in all the fields that we can imagine off. No wonder that it also has brought plenty of advancement to the automobile industry which stands a pioneer for technological advancement.
Starting from steam powered vehicles to the present hydrogen cell cars; sky is the limit for automobile manufacturers. However, automobile industry underwent some bad times between the years from 1960 to 1980, where all the car manufacturers used the same technology, almost the same designs. They just concentrated on making money from their new cars without investing anything in to research and development. This attitude of the manufacturers slowed down the technological advancements in the new cars and it even came to a halt at some point of time. Computers, with a globalized market turned the table for the new car companies and it revolutionized the automobile industry.
Now, new car companies have realized that by investing a considerable amount in the development of future technologies, they will be able to bring stability to their business model which automatically increases the profit of these new car manufacturers.
Each and every automobile company who manufactures new cars and services used cards is working towards one common goal, it is to develop a car that is eco friendly, which is more efficient, and which is totally safe.
As a result of hard work done by the research and development teams of every automobile company, we already have a glimpse of some wonderful inventions that can be used for both used cars and new cars.
Below given are the details of some real inventions that will be imparted in our future cars and also in the used cars that we have now.
• Regenerative breaking is a technology where in the wasted heat , which is produced while applying breaks is again in converted to usable energy, thus by increasing the energy efficiency of the vehicle . This technology can be imparted in both new and used cars.
• Researchers at the Brunel University( United Kingdom) has developed a hybrid engine which compresses the air, converts it to a form which the engine can use, thus by reducing the fuel consumption of the engine to 30%.This technology can be imparted to both new and used cars.
• Automobile giant BMW has developed a technology called the "Turbo steamer" which helps to harness the heat expelled by the internal combustion engines and generates mechanical energy from it. This technology can mostly be imparted in the new cars than the used cars.
• Carbon Nano tubes will replace steel, which makes the car safer and more energy efficient. This technology can only be used in the new cars.
• Nano technology will also be imparted in the engines of the car, giving the driver options to change the engine type. With some basic alterations, this technology can be adopted in the used cars also.
These are tip of the iceberg that automobile industry is about to unravel in the future. With new technology coming up every day, automobile giants are getting set to change the conventional transport system throughout the world, forever!
