Abstract

The basic aspects of modern fuel and environmental problems of road transport and the prospects of replacing petroleum fuel to alternatives, including composite energy have been considered. The results of studies of passenger cars in the European urban driving cycle using different fuels and given a complex analysis of the environmental indices of cars, taking into account the total carcinogenicity of exhaust gases have been cited. It is set that the most effective substitute for petroleum motor fuels in vehicles, both from economic and environmental points of view is natural gas, but in the short term - synthetic, including alcohol fuels and hydrogen
