Summary: This study analyzes data on the energy economy and environmental friendliness of passenger cars, aiming to propose the necessary developments to reduce CO2 emissions by the end of this decade. The findings suggest that sharing battery capacity among many plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) rather than a few battery electric vehicles would effectively reduce CO2 emissions in the life cycle analysis of road transport until 2030. Suggestions are also provided to improve the energy efficiency of PHEVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles over certification cycles.

Summary: This study evaluated 12 technical routes (Electricity, Gasoline, Hydrogen, Ammonia) from technical, environmental and economic perspectives and compared their comprehensive competitiveness. The results show that renewable energy-based technical routes reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption, but they have relatively high economic costs. Battery electric vehicles have the best comprehensive competitiveness at room temperature, while ammonia-hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles can be applied in special scenarios.

Summary: A long-term solution to climate and air pollution crises involves electrification of energy and obtaining clean electricity from renewable sources. However, there are currently no electric alternatives for long-distance, heavy passenger aircraft, freight locomotives, or ships. This study evaluates the feasibility of replacing these land, air, and sea vehicles with battery electric and/or hydrogen fuel cell equivalents while maintaining their characteristics. The research shows that armored tanks, freight trains, boats, helicopters, prop planes, and jumbo jets have potential for transition with identified technological advancements and solutions within literature.
