Abstract. The interest in alternative fuels results from the depletion of crude oil resources and, thus, search for new energy sources. article discusses power sources introduced into drive rail vehicles. Their advantages and disadvantages are presented, especially uncontrolled ignitions cases described. Attention is drawn to need develop European regulations on fire safety vehicles using hydro...

As the need for alternative transportation fuels increases, it is important to understand the many effects of introducing fuels based upon feedstocks other than petroleum. Water intensity in "gallons of water per mile traveled" is one method to measure these effects on the consumer level. In this paper we investigate the water intensity for light duty vehicle (LDV) travel using selected fuels b...

Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. These alternatives are intended to address concerns about such fossil fuels. Today, because of the variety of energy choices and differing goals of their advocates, defining some energy types as "alternative" is highly controversial. Most of the recent and existing alternative sources of energy are discussed below. K...

Abstract Heavy duty is a hard-to-abate segment of transport. freight sector includes road, maritime and the fast-growing aviation segments. Due to need energy dense vector, specifically for sector, liquid alternative fuels are considered as most effective short-to-medium term option allow decarbonisation. The possibility uptake these in heavy-duty road investigated this paper, with goal highlig...
