Innovation in Transportation!

It’s not all about electric vehicles, you know. Even as more and more automakers roll out hybrids and electric models, there are other innovations that can improve efficiency and change the way we use our vehicles for better. This week, we’re featuring some of our best innovations in transportation, from smarter navigation systems to stackable city cars.

As always, tune in Monday to Bloomberg West (see past segments) to learn more about our featured innovation of the week. This time, we’ll be presenting TrailerTail, an aerodynamic aid for trucks that reduces drag and cuts down on fuel consumption. If you think you have an idea that can make vehicles and transportation more sustainable, let us know by submitting your idea today!

  1. New rechargeable battery that stores energy thermally then re-creates electrical energy to the programmed voltage and current. It can be completely recharged in 15 minutes, has no aging factor, is lightweight, volume similar to existing batteries. Coupled with a way to create wheels from ceramic rather than metal. Within the ceramic material is embedded material to make the ceramic the rotor of an electric motor.
    This battery may also be recharged through collected solar energy.

    This is a new method to power vehicles from motorcycles to trains with no extraneous moving parts!


  2. Implementation in 2013 possible,


  3. Thanks for your idea, Wayne. We’d love to learn more! Please consider submitting a video and some more information to Planet Forward!

  4. Have you ever thought about Hydro Electric Cars? the prius would be a perfect test car. know how you have to charge the battery every time it needs to well this car would be charged automatically when the batter drops below a certain ampage. not a hydrogen/electric, this would be a car that is similar to a dam. to have Two small ballast tanks on either side of the car for weight distribution, two small hydroelectric turbines down the center of the chassis, and carbon alloy hoses leading to each turbine then back to the ballast tanks. this would allow for a once in a long period of time. “fuel up” to fill the appropriate ballast tank up from loss of water due to condensation. now im not good with words but this car would be semi self sufficient, NO harmful emissions would be given off and the car would be completely electric. i’ve had people saying it will not work…… what do you guys think?


  5. I believe that Zotos International of Geneva, NY is providing some of its “excess” electricity from its new wind turbines to help Geneva light its street lights.


  6. Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess
    I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for novice blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.


  7. “Innovation in Transportation!” was in fact a fantastic blog post.

    However, if it included a lot more pics it should be perhaps even far better.
    All the best -Janette


  8. You need to take part in a contest for one of the most useful sites on the internet.

    I’m going to recommend this blog!


  9. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
    it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to
    your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?


  10. wonderful points altogether, you simply won a brand new reader.

    What might you suggest in regards to your submit that you just made
    some days in the past? Any sure?


  11. Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

    A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine.
    Please let me know where you got your design. Bless you


  12. When some one searches for his essential thing, therefore he/she
    desires to be available that in detail, so that thing is maintained over here.


  13. Way cool! Some extremely valid points! I appreciate you penning this write-up and the
    rest of the site is also very good.


  14. Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of
    hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop
    hackers?


  15. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to
    be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they just
    do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon
    the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect ,
    people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get
    more. Thanks

    blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested.
    Kudos!


  17. I think what you said was very logical. However, what about this?
    suppose you wrote a catchier title? I ain’t suggesting your information isn’t solid, however suppose
    you added a title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Innovation in Transportation! is kinda vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article headlines to
    grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two
    to get people excited about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more interesting.


  18. doing the job inside the professional medical world I
    can undoubtedly comprehend the misuse of antibiotics. but..
    ..alternatively if we have been discussing undue struggling
    1 or two periods a calendar year then why is that this a dialogue?

    discomfort is suppose to be the fifth essential sign!
    ! if u have at any time had strep then u can relate. i’ve a son who contracts strep about 2 moments a year. just about every time …(i’m able to
    even odor the infxn at this point)we head to your doc.
    they society it, look forward to the total report and eventually deal with.
    .now it always will take about 4-7 times for the comprehensive report to access doc then me.
    through that time my youngster has endured with agony, missed school, shed
    weight, and enhanced risk for scarlet fever!!! are these causes not
    adequate to take care of???

    as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with this article which I am reading now.


  23. I think that everything posted was very logical.
    But, think about this, what if you were to write a killer post title?
    I ain’t saying your information isn’t good, however suppose you added something to possibly get a person’s attention? I mean Innovation in Transportation! is kinda vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and see
    how they create article titles to grab viewers
    to click. You might add a related video or a related picture or two
    to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.


  24. You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation however
    I find this matter to be really something which I think I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely vast for me. I am looking ahead to your next submit, I’ll

  56. The rate of return against cost rises to 70% if the homeowner does the
    job herself, although the work often requires a level of expertise that is
    beyond the ability of most do-it-yourselfers. Remove and dispose of moldy material in plastic bags, if possible.
