Project Introduction

The exhaustion of natural resources and environmental disruption have brought people into the trend of eco-friendly design. Sometimes environmental awareness as a marketing strategy controls capital. However, it is not easy to decrease the amount of CO2 emission under the system of capitalism. Unless the motivation to give off CO2 disappears, contamination will be continued.

Among many environmental issues, car industry is on the hot seat. The motor corporations are represented as a symbol and a conspicuous role of industrialization. However, the industry acknowledges environment disengagement and shows the effort to alternate the market with ‘Hybrid’ and ‘Hydrogen fuel cell’ car. On the other hand, the use in riding is not the matter. Because of CO2 emission from distribution transportation is 12 times of automobile CO2 emission amount.

Especially, not only from one factor but also from the entire steps of conveyance have influence environmentally. Formally, final emission amount is calculated by change in production level. Therefore, focus was on the definite mass that is quantity and weight of the goods

TAR Introduction
5 years have passed since Trans-Asian Railway's completion.
It was a plan from the UNESCAP(United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific) during early 1960 to intersect a railroad starting from Asia to Europe.

Every distribution and transportation within Eurasia has developed enough to be accomplished in a single day.
The magnetic levitation propulsion train and solar battery train runs through the rail without eliminating contaminant
and furthermore travels the new silk road with 500k/m speed without making any noise.
This brought a huge difference in distribution transportation system.

In the past, aviation and marine transportation were the only methods for long distances, however, nowadays most of them have transferred to railroad transportation.
Railroad transportation has 4~20 times less amount of CO2 emission compared to that of aviation and marine transportation.

the conveyance amount of the TAR freight terminal shows more than 10% increase every year, and about 49 million tons daily. It is 10 times less in CO2 emission amount compared to past railroad freight conveyance. Subsequently, the eco-friendliness of trucks and such kinds was raised as a social issue.

Every organization and firm were absorbed and put emphasis on eco-friendly truck development and successfully developed hybrid trucks, electricity trucks and hydro-engine trucks. As a result, the air pollution level is decreased by an average of 43.6% compared to 10 years before. Especially, the new technology ALS(Air Lifting System) enabled increase in fuel capacity more than 20%.

ALS made deadweight tonnage of trucks almost zero while driving, which enabled low carbon, low pollution trucks with high capacity. Also, it could calculate the amount of CO2 emission by itself regardless of distribution form. As a result, the government supported ALS as it successfully decreased the amount of CO2 emission. In the past, trucks were one of the main cause of air pollution which took almost 8.2% of CO2 emission. However, it became the most eco-friendly transportation with the best ecological technology.

the image of eco-friendly organizations was boosted up and evaluated well in this eco-oriented consumers’ psychological stage. As a result, a lot of competitors appeared and ecological technologies were created. One of them is ALS technology. It is evaluated as harmless technology and applied to most trucks. ALS, the first company to use a wind power energy, just had a meaningful start-up and has a bright future with its potential.
