Sentences with phrase «than internal combustion engine vehicles»

They were actually more numerous than internal combustion engine vehicles for a while at the dawn of the automobile...

J&D note that electric cars are 5 times more efficient than internal combustion engine vehicles, so less energy is needed to fuel them.

Not exact matches

But while fuel - cell vehicles are pushing the technological frontier, they drive like any traditional internal combustion engine vehicle, with a 300 - mile range and a refueling time of less than five minutes.

«Moreover, hybrids can foster public confidence and prevalence of electric mobility, as they have the same range than cars with internal combustion engines, contrary to battery electric vehicles.»

I believe this is going to become far more common than it is now, as electric cars are going to displace internal combustion engine powered vehicles.

Despite the theory that an EV should be cheaper to maintain than a vehicle with an internal combustion engine, automakers have not proven that in practice.

In a recent UN-commissioned study I conducted with Dr. Feng An, Liping Kang and Robert Earley, my colleagues at the Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation, a policy center based in Beijing, we found that in only three of the seven electricity grid regions in China does an EV have a lower carbon footprint than a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle.

Electric vehicles can potentially be nearly greenhouse - neutral, but at the time of writing they are more expensive than ICE (internal combustion engine)- powered vehicles so few people buy them.

In addition, because electric motors can be 2 — 3 times more efficient than internal combustion engines, PV can result in 200 — 300 times more useable energy for vehicle transport than bioenergy per hectare (although fully realizing this potential will require battery production to become more energy efficient).

The method would also reduce greenhouse gas emissions more than turning the crops into ethanol and using that ethanol in vehicles with internal combustion engines.

Using plants to create electricity to power electric vehicles wins out because electric engines are much more efficient than internal combustion engines.

«CNG vehicles still rely on internal combustion engine technology, which is less efficient in fuel requirements than electric vehicles, whose engines gain energy from braking and have higher operational efficiency,» the executive summary states.

From the article: «CNG vehicles still rely on internal combustion engine technology, which is less efficient in fuel requirements than electric vehicles, whose engines gain energy from braking and have higher operational efficiency,» the executive summary states.

J&D also note that by transitioning to more efficient technologies (for example, battery electric vehicles over the internal combustion engine, electric heat pumps for homes, and solar thermal energy with storage to provide baseload power rather than fossil fuels and nuclear) we can actually reduce global power production by 30 % compared to business - as - usual.

The second is that, whether at rest or in motion, electric vehicles typically produce less vibration and noise pollution than vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine.

Namely, buildings must increasingly be outfitted for electric mobility.This will increase overall electricity consumption, with the benefit that electric vehicles (EVs) are 3 to 4 times more efficient than ones equipped with internal combustion engines.

And of course, using the heat sparingly is even more important for good range than in an ICE (internal combustion engine) car, as an electric vehicle isn't peripherally warmed by the engine.

Propels the vehicle more quietly, smoothly, and efficiently than an internal combustion engine and requires less maintenance

[1] Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles are different from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (which use electrochemical conversion of hydrogen rather than combustion); the hydrogen internal combustion engine is simply a modified version of the traditional gasoline - powered internal combustion engine.

Pay attention, because this next one has some serious implications for energy and transportation policy, and infrastructure: According to research just published in the online edition of Science, rather than converting energy crops to liquid fuel for use in an internal combustion engine, it is far more efficient to convert them to electricity to power vehicles.

Basically, Darryl argues they are much closer to the standard business model of other internal combustion engine powered cars than they are to small experimental start - ups, or producers of neighborhood electric vehicles.
