visit our friends, go shopping or on holidays. It gives us
freedom of mobility. Over the past 100 years our car has
developed tremendously. Comfort, safety and speed have
increased considerably. But what about other technology
aspects? And what is the energy efficiency to go by car
from A to B? How many vehicles and cars do we have on
the road? And what will the future bring?
