"Environmental Impact Assessment of Automobiles: A Review"
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the environmental impact assessment of automobiles. It
examines various factors such as emissions, resource depletion, and energy consumption associated with
the lifecycle of cars. Additionally, it discusses strategies for mitigating these impacts and suggests areas
for future research.
"The Ecological Footprint of Electric Vehicles: A Comparative Analysis"
This study compares the ecological footprint of electric vehicles (EVs) to traditional internal combustion
engine vehicles (ICEVs). It evaluates factors such as manufacturing processes, energy sources, and endof-life disposal. The findings highlight the potential environmental benefits of EVs but also emphasize the
importance of considering the entire lifecycle for accurate assessment.
"Impacts of Autonomous Vehicles on Urban Ecosystems: A Systematic Review"
This systematic review examines the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on urban
ecosystems. It discusses changes in land use, traffic patterns, and air quality resulting from the
widespread adoption of AVs. The paper also identifies gaps in current research and suggests directions
for future studies to address these uncertainties.
"Life Cycle Assessment of Hybrid Cars: A Case Study"
This paper presents a life cycle assessment (LCA) of hybrid cars, focusing on their environmental impacts
from cradle to grave. It analyzes factors such as materials extraction, manufacturing processes, vehicle
operation, and end-of-life disposal. The results provide insights into the overall sustainability of hybrid
cars and highlight opportunities for improvement.
"Biofuels and Their Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions from Transportation"
This review explores the role of biofuels in reducing carbon emissions from transportation, particularly in
the context of new cars. It discusses various types of biofuels, their production processes, and their
potential environmental benefits and challenges. The paper also examines policy implications and
technological advancements aimed at promotinJohn Smith(2020) -Environmentalsciencejournal

Last week's assignment involved reviewing five distinct literatures concerning the environmental impact
of new cars on the ecosystem. The first paper, "Environmental Impact Assessment of Automobiles: A
Review," provided a comprehensive examination of the environmental repercussions of automobiles,
including emissions, resource depletion, and energy consumption. The second literature, "The Ecological
Footprint of Electric Vehicles: A Comparative Analysis," compared the ecological footprint of electric
vehicles to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, highlighting the potential environmental
benefits of electric vehicles. The third review, "Impacts of Autonomous Vehicles on Urban Ecosystems: A
Systematic Review," discussed the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles on urban ecosystems, such
as changes in land use, traffic patterns, and air quality. The fourth paper, "Life Cycle Assessment of
Hybrid Cars: A Case Study," presented a life cycle assessment of hybrid cars, analyzing their overall
sustainability. Lastly, the review "Biofuels and Their Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions from
Transportation" explored the role of biofuels in reducing carbon emissions from transportation.
It's clear that the shift towards electric, autonomous, and hybrid vehicles could have significant
environmental implications. However, these benefits largely depend on various factors such as the
source of electricity, manufacturing processes, and end-of-life disposal. It's also evident that biofuels
could play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions from transportation
These literatures collectively suggest that while new automobile technologies like electric, autonomous,
and hybrid vehicles hold promise for reducing the environmental impact, their overall effect is influenced
by various factors throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, biofuels emerge as a potential solution for
reducing carbon emissions in transportation.
It's apparent that the transition to environmentally friendly vehicles is not straightforward and requires a
holistic approach considering the entire lifecycle of these vehicles. Furthermore, the role of biofuels in
sustainable transportation underscores the need for a multi-pronged approach to tackling carbon
emission from the transportation sector
