Vehicle Assembly

The US Environmental Protection Agency has published a Profile of the Motor Vehicle Assembly Industry with lots of information about environmental controls and pollution prevention opportunities.  Another EPA Motor Vehicle Industry Notebook describes the U.S. Auto Pollution Prevention Project. 

A set of Pollution Prevention links for the automotive industry can be found here.  An even bigger collection of links can be found at the Great Lakes P2 Centre:   Automobile.

A fact sheet on pollution prevention for auto repair can be found here.

The problem with traditional vehicles is that they run on an unsustainable fuel source:   oil.   Electric Vehicles are more sustainable and may be a big market opportunity in some areas.
