“…Accepted the best case of energy utilization, the efficiency equal to 40%, since the largest number of transport vehicles, about 80% of them are diesel and are the consumers of the main amount of fuel and vehicles with gasoline have had a minimal effect on fuel consumption [7,8]. Also, the efficiency of an electric vehicle with a lithium battery has been accepted as 90% [4,6]. Is calculated:…”

“…All this uncertainty about the future of energy fuels brings the need for Albania to take part in the new world trend to introduce electric vehicles to the market, which are set in motion by battery energy. As is known, electric vehicles use lithium batteries and have an engine efficiency of 90% and have autonomy of movement depending on the type of vehicle [4,6].…”

The economic crises and the increase of oil prices have brought the need to find new ways of transportation with lower costs. One of the most recent trends is the use of electric vehicles. Albania has shown its ambition to become a producer and exporter of electricity produced from renewable sources such as HPP, solar and wind energy. On the other hand, it has improved its policies favoring the increase in the number of electric vehicles. In the paper, a hypothesis related to the number of electric vehicles has been developed. If Albania will have all electric vehicles, what effect will their demand for electricity have on the Albanian energy system? Is it possible to provide the necessary amount of electricity from the current production of the country for these vehicles and what should be done to produce this amount from renewable sources of electricity? Based on this hypothesis, we will analyze the Albanian energy system for the current situation and in the future. By determining the energy demand of electric road transport vehicles, we will give suggestions on what should be done to produce the electricity needed for electric vehicles.

“…A big problem that does not convince drivers to buy EV is the limited range of the vehicle and the long battery charging time, which is from half an hour to several hours and even a day to fully charge. In addition, in many countries, there is no proper vehicle charging infrastructure [246], such as in Poland. The solution to these problems will certainly come with time; more and more efficient batteries are already appearing, and the charging infrastructure is developing.…”

Road transport is one of the most important factors for the national economy due to its universality and comprehensive possibilities of transporting people and goods. Unfortunately, from the energy point of view, it is also the most cost-intensive and has a negative influence on the natural environment. For these reasons, issues related to limiting the use of conventional fuels are very important, which results in reducing emissions from this sector, as well as reducing transport costs. This article presents currently used energy sources for propulsion of road vehicles, including fossil and alternative fuels, gaseous fuels and other energy sources such as fuel cells. The following section presents technologies that allow to recover some of the energy lost in motor vehicles and internal combustion engines used for their propulsion. The principle of operation of these solutions, their structure and their main features are presented. The last part focuses on discussing and identifying the most universal technologies for energy harvesting in vehicles and showing further directions of energy development in the automotive sector.

“…The norms of mileage emissions are accepted according to [9,11]. Oil consumption rates for different types of cars were taken according to [12], and the mass of tread dust generated per year by one car (for a car 1.35 kg per year, for a truck 17.1 kg per year, for a bus 53.2 kg per year) according to [12]. Estimation of the amount of waste produced was made with the help of calculation methods outlined in [10,13], based on mileage rates before replacement of vehicle components.…”

The purpose of this article is to assess the process of electrification of transport in Tashkent and forecast some of the possible consequences of this process until 2027. It has been established that with the growth of transport electrification, it is possible to achieve hazardous concentrations of particulate matter in the atmospheric air of the city. A significant relative increase in ferrous and non-ferrous metal waste (by 1.3...3.6 times), as well as scrap tires (by 1.5 times) is also predicted.
