XIV

A motor fuel is: a fuel that is used——to provide power to the——motor in motor vehicles.

Currently, "the majority of motor vehicles worldwide are powered by," gasoline/diesel. Other energy sources include ethanol, biodiesel, propane, compressed natural gas (CNG), electric batteries, and hydrogen (either using fuel cells or combustion). There are also cars that use a hybrid of different power sources. The use of alternative fuels is increasing, "especially in Europe." Before deciding on a particular fuel type, some factors should be considered:

• The profitability of a solution.
• The workload in relation to one's own driving performance - if someone drives short distances, he will have very little benefit for himself. And the "environment."
• The refueling / charging infrastructure should be sufficiently developed so that one can use its vehicle flexibly without worry about finding filling station.
