The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Since it can operate on 100% biofuel, it is the means for achieving new goals recently set for reducing the use of fossil fuels and cutting the net emission of CO 2 to zero. It also emits far fewer emissions.
