Allegedly eliminate means of present transportation? (6)
I believe the answer is:
sleigh
'transportation?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sleigh that I've seen before include "Santa's transport" , "Santa's vehicle" , "Carriage to run on snow" , "Toboggan" , "13 ac's transport" .)
