Over the years Hyundai has become one of the biggest and most powerful Asain car companies on the planet. Since Hyundai's start they have been trying to improve and make their cars more fuel efficient. This year Hyundai's Sonata (2011) has preliminary fuel data of 6.7L per 100 highway kilometers. Hyundai is striving within the next 15 years to have their cars at an average fuel economy of 4.7 L per 100 highway kilometers. With many of the impressive fuel economy ratings Hyundai has become ranked 2nd in the world for most fuel efficient and greenest cars on the road, tied with Toyota. Hyundai is making drastic changes to their vehicle which will enhance the fuel economy of the vehicle, they are installing technologies such as twin scroll turbochargers, gasoline direct injection, electric power steering, and improved transmissions with 6 speed. Although the prices for installing the new parts is alot Hyundai is becoming more cost effective by manufacturing and ordering the parts in high volumes. The government agencies announced that they will be developing tougher greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards for passenger cars on the road. Meaning that Hyundai is on the road to making the Earth a greener place.
I think that this is great. Too many car companies today are not cutting down on their fuel emission standards. Hyundai is leading the way in innovation for better fuel economy and lower emission standards. I believe that more car companies should go "green" many companies are changing and becoming greener but there is not enough companies still have cars with brutal fuel economy. I think that in the near future car companies will be forced to change with the time whether or not the companies agrees or not, for many reasons I believe this because people will no longer be able or willing to pay 120 dollars at the pump for gas, they will want better cars that have better fuel economy and lower prices at the pump. The future of the world is in the peoples hands. Global warming is coming and if people start cutting waste and reducing pollution there is a chance that it can stop. I believe that Hyundai is doing its part and stepping up to the plate to make a greener world.
