Hybrid, Electric, Alternatively Fuelled Vehicles
The hybrid, electric and alternatively fuelled vehicle (HEAFV) technology theme includes these vehicle systems and functions:
Application of new and alternative fuel types, such as hydrogen, LPG, CNG, LNG, bio-diesel and bio-ethanol/methanol.
Conversion of energy in conventional and alternative fuels to useful mechanical power.
Electrical motors for vehicle propulsion, storage systems, hybrids and fuel cells for converting fuels directly to electrical energy.
Note that there is commonality between some of these areas and those covered by the Engine and Powertrain thematic group, although the applications are different between the groups.
