Vehicle reduced emission deployment

1. A system comprising:

a reduced emission apparatus connected to a vehicle and configured to operate the vehicle in a reduced emission mode, wherein the reduced emission apparatus further comprises an electric motor/generator connected to a power take-off port of a manual transmission of the vehicle via a transfer gear mechanism;

a data acquisition apparatus connected to the vehicle and configured to acquire data pertaining to operation of the vehicle; and

a control logic apparatus connected to the vehicle and coupled to the reduced emission apparatus and the data acquisition apparatus, the control logic apparatus configured to encourage operation of the vehicle in the reduced emission mode by the reduced emission apparatus in response to an analysis of the data pertaining to the operation of the vehicle by the data acquisition apparatus.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a security device for the reduced emission apparatus and the data acquisition apparatus, wherein the security device is configured to prevent removal or disablement of the reduced emission apparatus or data acquisition apparatus, wherein the data acquisition apparatus is configured to communicate data for emission credits, the credits being based on vehicle operation in the reduced emission mode, and wherein the credits from operating the reduced emission apparatus apply to resources for deploying the reduced emission apparatus.

3. A system comprising:

a reduced emission apparatus connected to a vehicle and configured to operate the vehicle in a reduced emission mode;

a data acquisition apparatus connected to the vehicle and configured to acquire data pertaining to operation of the vehicle; and

a control logic apparatus connected to the vehicle and coupled to the reduced emission apparatus and the data acquisition apparatus, the control logic apparatus configured to encourage operation of the vehicle in the reduced emission mode by the reduced emission apparatus in response to an analysis of the data pertaining to the operation of the vehicle by the data acquisition apparatus, wherein the system further comprises a security device for the reduced emission apparatus and the data acquisition apparatus, wherein the security device is configured to prevent removal or disablement of the reduced emission apparatus or data acquisition apparatus, wherein the data acquisition apparatus is configured to communicate data for emission credits, the credits being based on vehicle operation in the reduced emission mode, and wherein the credits from operating the reduced emission apparatus apply to resources for deploying the reduced emission apparatus; and

a global positioning system coupled to the vehicle configured to communicate a location of the vehicle to a remote location, wherein the security device is configured to prevent removal of the global positioning system and from interrupting broadcasting of the location of the vehicle by the global positioning system.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein communicating the location of the vehicle to a remote location includes communicating to a mobile tracking device, so that the mobile tracking device can be used to retrieve the vehicle.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein, the control logic apparatus is configured to Charge batteries used for energizing an electric motor that is configured to propel the vehicle when the data acquisition system receives data from a global positioning system that the vehicle is within a specified distance from a geographic area designated as restricting vehicle emissions beyond a threshold level.

6. A system comprising:

a reduced emission apparatus connected to a vehicle and configured to operate the vehicle in a reduced emission mode;

a data acquisition apparatus connected to the vehicle and configured to acquire data pertaining to operation of the vehicle; and

a control logic apparatus connected to the vehicle and coupled to the reduced emission apparatus and the data acquisition apparatus, the control logic apparatus configured to encourage operation of the vehicle in the reduced emission mode by the reduced emmission apparatus in response to an analysis of the data pertaining to the operation of the vehicle by the data acquisition apparatus, wherein the control logic apparatus is configured to prevent starting of an internal combustion engine that propels the vehicle when the vehicle is located within a specified geographic area.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the specified geographic area is designated as restricting vehicle emissions beyond a threshold level.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reduced emission mode comprises the vehicle producing less noise during operation.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control logic apparatus displays one or more routes the vehicle can travel to increase operation in the reduced emission mode.
