Reader Response Final

    Hyundai Newsroom's article "Car emissions are one of the main forms of pollution affecting air quality in cities and towns. The automotive industry is aiming to help create a cleaner environment through eco-friendly vehicles." (2018). Based on the statistics provided by the website, "DataCommons" (2020), Singapore clocked in at 7.69 metric tons of carbon emission in the year 2020. The amount of household that owns a four-wheeled private transport takes up 33% of every resident living here in Singapore. That is almost 1 in every 3 citizens despite a 40% decrease in vehicle ownership compared to 2014 (Loi, 2023). Inferring from the research data, numbers will continue to proliferate due to Singapore's increasing GDP and demand for private vehicular convenience. This report will discuss the foreseeable changes in the mode of transport in Singapore, as well as the technology that will be ushering in an alternative to fuel-powered vehicles. In the year 2019,

 According to Hyundai Newsroom's website, "Car emissions are one of the main forms of pollution affecting air quality in cities and towns. The automotive industry is aiming to help create a cleaner environment through eco-friendly vehicles." (Hyundai, 2018). The amount of household that owns a four-wheeled private transport takes up 33% of every residents living here in Singapore. That is almost 1 in every 3 citizens despite a 40% decrease in vehicle ownership compared to 2014 (Loi, 2023). Based on the statistics provided by the website DataCommons (2020), Singapore clocked in at 7.69 metric tons of carbon emission in the year 2020. I am certain the numbers will continue to proliferate with regards to Singapore's increasing GDP. Therefore, I will be analyzing the potential usage of green energy for private transportation. Specifically, Hyundai's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology used in the 2019 Hyundai Nexo.        Hyundai's Nexo demonstrates the potential of hyd

  According to Hyundai Newsroom's website, "Car emissions are one of the main forms of pollution affecting air quality in cities and towns. The automotive industry is aiming to help create a cleaner environment through eco-friendly vehicles." (Hyundai, 2018). The statistic websiteData Comms mentioned that Singapore clocked in at 7.69 metric tons of carbon emission in the year 2020 (Data Commons, 2020). This increasing statistic proves the need of a more viable and sustainable source of propellent.   Hyundai's Fuel Cell Technology stand out amongst it's competitors. Firstly, what is the difference between electrical powered vehicles compared to hydrogen-powered vehicles? According to GraniteHyundai, Hydrogen is combined with oxygen to create electricity. Compressed hydrogen gas is forced through a fuel cell stack that transforms that chemical energy into electrical energy. When electricity is created this way, instead of harmful chemicals being produced, water vapo
