A Better, Healthier Ride

John Heywood SM ’62, PhD ’65, Faculty

For much of his career, Heywood has asked one central question: What happens inside cars that contributes to air pollution? His proposed solutions for both inside and outside of automobiles are contained in two reports—On the Road in 2035 (2008) and An Action Plan for Cars (2009)—that describe policies to cut US greenhouse gas emissions and to reduce the nation’s dependency on petroleum imports.
