Group 4 presentation on Eco shuttles was interesting. They mentioned three ways to to improve shuttles with alternative fuels; Electric, Hydrogen Powered, Vegetable oil. I like their idea however; it will be extremely costly to transforemed a gas shuttle to anything else. The best idea would be to purchase new shuttles with alternative fuels and that would be expensive as well. They mentioned many ideas that will actually work for all three alternative fuels. They also mentioned how FGCU shuttles could be transformed to use other fuels. My opinion is it would be extremely hard to make all shuttles in FGCU not run on gas but maybe run on electrcity or vegatable oil. There is cars on the road like the hybrid models sold by Ford and Toyota that run with less gas but they cost more than the average vehicle. Making the shuttles hybrid could make a difference and help the environment. Overall I enjoyed the presentation and it is a great idea to have shuttles run with alternative fuels.
