Effect of Using New Technology Vehicles on the World's Environment and Petroleum Resources.

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
