Sociocultural Carsharing or car sharing is a model of car rental where people rent cars for short periods of time‚ often by the hour. They are attractive to customers who make only occasional use of a vehicle‚ as well as others who would like occasional access to a vehicle of a different type than they use day-to-day. Carsharing contributes to sustainable transport because it is a less car intensive means of urban transport‚ and according to The Economist‚ carsharing can reduce car ownership at an estimated

other variable costs‚ however‚ went down partly because of this unexpected high volume of new registrations. Lease cost went up to $4‚800 per vehicle because as Zip Car got bigger‚ the exposure to risk also got bigger for car manufacturers as their leased vehicles will be used by a larger pool of different drivers. Parking fee per car per year was also higher than expected (25% more) and fuel bill were 10% higher than planned. Because these were variable cost‚ they would bring down the company’s contribution

The hybrid car becomes popular in worldwide nowadays and for example‚ the demand of hybrid cars especially in Japan are increase every year. There are many perspectives from experts about hybrid car. First perspective is a hybrid car is one that uses more than one of propulsion that means combining a normal petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor (Webster‚ 2014). Second perspective from expert is the hybrid vehicle utilizes two different power train “varieties” or energy sources and merges

discrimination‚ deportation‚ and segregation. These are all the things people of the latino community had faced during the early to late 1990s. American people used the latino community for cheap labor‚ which is basically legal slavery. Many families even if they were citizens of the United States were deported to their home countries. So why were people of the latino community treated so poorly in the 1900’s in America? During the 1900’s majority of schools were segregated in America. “By the 1940s‚ as

creation of steam engined automobiles capable of human transport.[1]:14 In 1806‚ the first cars powered by an internal combustion engine running on fuel gas appeared‚ which led to the introduction in 1885 of the ubiquitous modern gasoline- or petrol-fueled internal combustion engine. The year 1886 is regarded the year of birth of the modern automobile - with the Benz Patent-Motorwagen‚ by German inventor Carl Benz. Cars powered by electric power briefly appeared at the turn of the 20th century but largely

------------------------------------------------- People should be encouraged to get out of their cars and find other ways to travel Deep in the past‚ people often had to reach their destination on foot. Today‚ however‚ we can’t imagine our life without a car and we use it almost everytime when we go somewhere‚ even for really short distances. This fact has its advantages‚ but there are also some negative aspects of using cars. First of all‚ cars are much more comfortable than public
