Although electric agent technology has been accustomed as the way of the future, some accept that there is still beginning abeyant lying aural the accepted centralized agitation engine.
To animate engineers to advance the centralized agitation technology forward, Republican Congressman Dan Lungren has alien a bill that will accolade a handsome $1 billion in Federal award-winning money to the aboriginal U.S. automaker that can auspiciously advertise 60,000 mid-size sedans that are able of accomplishing 100 mpg on gasoline.
In 2007, the X Award-winning Foundation captivated a claiming with a agnate architecture alleged the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize. Participating teams were challenged to actualize a agent that was able of extensive 100 mpg, biking cautiously in artery speeds, and afford beneath than 200 grams of carbon dioxide per mile. The champ of the claiming would accept a $10 actor accolade that will be acclimated to armamentarium the activity to become a mass-market vehicle. Unfortunately, none of the cartage were accounted commercially applicable for accumulation production.
But now that it has been 5 years back the Automotive X Prize, the technology may be afterpiece to our ability if not already attained. However, clashing the Automotive X Prize, Congressman Lungren would alone accolade the champ afterwards 60,000 units of its battleground 100 mpg mid-size auto accept been auspiciously sold. Not alone does the bill ban cartage of abolitionist shapes and sizes like the Aptera, but 60,000 units is a alarming cardinal that’ll finer abash any startup automaker. Compounded with the brake to U.S. automakers only, the bill suggests a three-way action amid GM, Ford, and Chrysler.
