Abstract
Automotive carbon emissions, primarily governed by fuel consumption, are closely related to climate change. Parked cars act as inadvertent greenhouses, accumulate heat, requiring increased fuel consumption for air conditioning upon re-entry. Reducing fuel consumption will contribute to sustainable transportation and mitigate climate change by contributing to sustainable transportation. Solar-powered car ventilation is our solution. Study includes comprehensive design, efficiency assessment, and system performance assessment utilizing Solidworks and Creo. Cost analysis, material selection, and market-ready component integration were taken into account. Using the solar-powered ventilation system, interior vehicle temperatures were reduced by 9.10 to 11.63�C. The highest efficiency achieved under ideal conditions was 92.95%. Efficiency calculations under the same simulation parameters on the first day reached 73.44%, while in the real test it reached 62.11%. Simulation and real-world testing differ by 11.33%. This study contributes to sustainable transportation, reducing carbon emissions, and preserving fuel. ? 2024 Joint Journal of Novel Carbon Resource Sciences and Green Asia Strategy.
