The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Some examples are the use of fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar substituting for wood and metal in vehicle parts, appliances and furniture products. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today.
