Alternative fuel cars simply means that they operate using another source of fuel other then gasoline, or any engine that is not utterly trusting on petroleum. Global warming and environmental laws have made alternate power sources high rank for government and car manufacturers all over the globe.
Priority for research and development has been largely centered on "hybrid" vehicles. They use both electric power and internal combustion. Nonetheless, there are more alternative fuel cars being developed. Right now, the most familiar alternative fuel cars are the electric car, the petrol-electric hybrid, and the solar-powered car.
The battery-electric vehicles, or BEVs, are vehicles that are powered by the chemical juice of batteries. Much are classified as zero emission vehicles, or ZEHs, because no emissions are formed when running. Electrical energy for these cars are acquired a variety of battery chemistry's arranged intro battery packs. BEVs have mainly used lead-acid batteries, NiMH batteries, and lithium-ion batteries.
A hybrid car, or the petrol-electric hybrid, uses many sources to provide power. This commonly refers to petrol-electric hybrid vehicles, which use gasoline and electric batteries for the power used to power internal-combustion engines (ICEs) and electric motors. The worlds first commercially mass-produced and marketed hybrid car was the Toyota Prius. It was first introduced to the worldwide market in 2000, and now has broken the barrier of over one million sold.
A solar car is an electric vehicle powered by the light of the sun obtained from solar panels on the auto. Although, solar cars are not yet a practical form of transportation. Events conducted by government agencies, such as the US Department of Energy, to aid the development of alternative energy technology such as solar cells and electric transportation. Such challenges are often entered by universities to mature their students engineering and technological skills as well as motor vehicle manufacturers such as GM and Honda.
