  The present invention relates to an ecological vehicle that can contribute to the improvement of the atmospheric environment.

In recent years, due to increasing environmental problems such as global warming, measures to reduce greenhouse gases such as CO ₂ (carbon dioxide) and measures to prevent environmental pollution have been demanded. Therefore, in urban areas, measures such as idling stop to stop the engine even when the vehicle is stopped for a short time, measures to prevent particulate matter in the exhaust gas from being released into the atmosphere, and measures to green the building roof are taken. It is becoming.

  The inventor of the present case is that the relatively hot exhaust gas discharged from the engine vehicle is deeply involved in global warming, and that greening plants absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide by photosynthesis to prevent global warming. Focusing on its effectiveness, it has nurtured greening plants that can contribute to the improvement of the atmospheric environment by effectively using exhaust gas and drainage from air conditioners in engine vehicles. The technical challenge is to provide ecologically-friendly vehicles that can suppress global warming.
