- 5. Most automobiles in use today are propelled by gasoline (also known as petrol) or diesel internal combustion engines. Which are known to cause air pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming. Increasing costs of oil-based fuels. Tightening environmental laws and restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions are propelling work on alternative power systems for automobiles. Efforts to improve or replace existing technologies include the development of hybridvehicles. Electric and hydrogs vehicleswhich do not release pollution into the air.
