What are the concerns in incorporating more eco design in cars?

“

The biggest challenge again for us, is we have certain criteria we need to meet. Whether it's, you know, sustainability, or whether its crash worthiness or whether it's, you know serviceability. Can we take these components apart and put them together again? These characteristics have to be built into a component, into the material. So if we want to use something that's a sustainable product or eco friendly. We have to make sure that, that product satisfies those requirements. So the big challenge here. Is, yes, we can make it totally green car, but the challenge would be, does this car meet the criteria for that particular vehicle. Will it crash? Will it absorb the impact correctly? You know, that's our biggest challenge, but having said that, it is a big movement, and we're making huge strides towards you know totally green vehicles.
