Today everybody is planning to buy a car for himself, ignoring the fact that petrol prices have reached highest and is expected to rise in future also. Its not the people who are crazy to buy cars but the companies are also busy in bringing out new models out of their factory, to woo their prospective customer.

The effort put forward by TATA in bringing out "nano" 1 lakh rs car was a revolution in car industry. But i feel TATA should have also taken up the initiative to develop car which could run on alternate source of energy apart from petrol and diesel.

I feel the best energy to be used as an alternate source of energy for cars would be solar energy which is found in abundance. We are busy planning as to which car we should shop for, ignoring the fact that without petrol they will of no use so before they make huge investment in procuring a car find it of use later due inadequate supply of petrol.

Its high time that companies should focus their attention to this point and take a decision. Any company who take up the initiative first will definitely get the first mover advantage. As TATA got due to NANO.
