Example Introduction: The purpose of this project is to introduce our group's two conceptual designs. We have included the following sketches for each car: 3 dimensional view, elevation, plan, front, rear and interior view. Also, we have included a discussion of how the designs meet the criteria given in the project outline. The cars could be suitable for short trips in busy areas. Example Conclusion: This report introduced two environmentally-friendly designs for a car. We presented information about the engine and fuel, materials, safety and accessories and provided sketches for each car. These cars would be more expensive than normal family cars, but it is important to develop cleaner technology for the future.
