Nowadays, the trend towards the use of transportation technologies which are clean and less dependent on fossil fuel is highly increased. That is because of the fast depletion of oil reserves in the world. On the other hand, the growth of developing nations into industrialized ones will increase the demand on the energy sector, a large part of which is transportation. This development of the transportation sector will affect the environment as a result of greenhouse gases. In this paper, the use of several types of clean energy vehicles is demonstrated, compared with the ones utilizing classic internal combustion engine, with statistical demonstration and the energy conversion chain. The impact of hybrid vehicles on the petroleum reserves and consumption rates will also be discussed using some mathematical equations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
