dominant design in propulsion system for automotive industry

Abstract

Sustainable Development has emerged as the most important objective for regulatory bodies all around the world during the course of the past decades. When it comes to saving the environment, it is absolutely necessary to undertake significant reductions in emissions of dangerous materials. Furthermore, in light of the fact that the world's fossil resources are steadily being depleted, it is of the utmost importance to immediately put into action policies that would encourage the exploitation of renewable energy sources. The vehicle industry, which is responsible for a substantial portion of the greenhouse effect, acknowledges the necessity of developing a new technologies that would make it possible to create a transportation sector that is more ecologically friendly. There are a number of different pathways that are now being investigated; however, the particular technology that will be used to power future vehicles has not yet been selected. There is a lack of consensus among the many players in the business over the technology that will eventually become the design that is most widely used in the future. As a consequence of this, the industry is currently going through a phase in which a number of new technologies are competing with one another. To what extent do the developing alternatives meet the criteria to become a dominant technology that safeguards the environment? That is the question that this thesis intends to answer. This presentation will demonstrate the true potential of the currently developed alternatives of propulsion systems to emerge as a dominant design to power the future vehicles compared to the conventional means of transportation. The environmental aspects have gained significant importance in policy-making at the international, regional, and national levels throughout the early 21st century. Undoubtedly, the concern that the planet's natural resources are presently being excessively utilized, and the continual rise in hazardous emissions might lead to an ecological catastrophe if no global-scale measures are implemented. The imperative to establish a production and consumption paradigm that conserves natural resources while minimizing hazardous emissions is undeniable. Nevertheless, it necessitates an immense level of dedication from all stakeholders, including governmental entities, corporations, and consumers. The automotive sector, is widely recognized as a significant contributor to global warming, is well cognizant of this obligation. Car manufacturers have devoted significant financial resources to Research and Development (R&D) for several years in order to harmonize the concepts of 'mobility' with 'sustainable'. This phenomenon is commonly known as the 'sustainable mobility dilemma'. The necessity to establish an environmentally friendly automobile sector arises from two primary factors: the increasing apprehension about the harmful pollutants produced by transportation and the significant depletion of our non-renewable resources in recent years. We will analyze and evaluate the detailed explanation of these two concerns and their effects, as well as the advancements made by international authorities in addressing these problems. • Air pollution and climate change caused by the increase of greenhouse gas emissions Global warming is often regarded as a highly significant threat to our planet.
