Find out about the first cars and the construction of strong roads, bridges and tunnels to carry the growing numbers of cars, trucks and buses. Learn about the pollution problems caused by the huge numbers of vehicles on Australian roads today, and ways to make road vehicles of the future more environmentally friendly.
