Abstract
Transportation sector has transformed dramatically over the years. Here as the demand for vehicles has reached saturation level in developed countries, other countries have become market heavens for vehicle manufacturers. Land, air and water transportation has increased many folds for shifting both passengers and cargo from one place to other. This chapter discuss major issues and solution with respect to transportation which includes shifting to green fuel, improving mass transportation, ensuring good quality fuel, eco friendly engines and fuel, vehicular emission standard.
