Comparison of the Overall Energy Efficiency for Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles and Electric Vehicles

Comparison between Battery Electric Vehicles and Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles fueled by Electrofuels

Increasing the share of renewable energy used in the transport sector is seen as an important step to globally reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Battery electric vehicles have for a long time been seen as a solution if the electricity is produced by renewable sources, but still suffers from high battery costs and short range issues. As a way to overcome these issues and at the same time keep cur...

The Suitability of Internal Combustion Engine Sounds as Artificial Warning Sounds for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

The paper discusses the issue of adding artificial warning sounds to hybrid and fully electric vehicles in order to increase traffic safety by making these vehicles audible at low speeds. The goal of this modification is to enable the pedestrians to perceive possible danger coming from such a vehicle in time to respond accordingly. Following the results of previous research which state that the...
