Automobile emission is one of the major issues that have been disconcerting this world. Emissions from the automobile, caused by burning the fossil fuels pollutes the environment which after some point becomes irreversible process and destroys the habitat that we share with the other organisms. This paper discusses a unique way to reduce NOx emissions from light- and heavy-duty vehicles (as defined by EPA regulations) by making the roads move instead of vehicles using MEMS cell(s) and/or MEMS Technology and the vehicles can move whenever required. MEMS stands for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems and such systems are generally built on silicon substrate and by process of etching, oxidation and other underlying MEMS mechanism. US DOT (US Department of Transportation) and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) can also use the concept solely to avoid national and state highway accidents.
