Reflecting back on
the problem of society not fully implementing Hybrid and electric vehicles, my
creative response aims to change attitudes by giving people an opportunity to
test environmentally aware vehicles for themselves. By giving people the
opportunity to try these vehicles without having to commit to purchasing a new
vehicle, they may be more open to experiencing what Hybrid and Electric
vehicles have to offer. Hybrid and Electric vehicle technology may not be perfect;
it has come along way in the last decade. Implementing these technologies now
gives vehicle manufacturers more money to invest in renewable and sustainable
technologies for the future.
The company I have
created: HEVENZ (Hybrid Electric Vehicle Experience New Zealand) is a rental
car company with a fleet consisting only of Hybrid and Electric vehicles. The
aim of this company is to give people the opportunity to experience what these
vehicles have to offer. As well as hiring vehicles, they also deal directly in
new Hybrid and Electric vehicles with various incentives to go hybrid/electric
such as trade in options for internal combustion driven vehicles. And a try to
buy system where someone can hire a range of environmentally aware vehicles and
if they choose to buy one they get the cost of the hire back. My creative
response more than anything gives people the opportunity to experience new
technologies.
