The automotive industry emerged as a great advance for the human being; an evolution in which many did not believe, ensuring that today we would still move on horse-drawn carriages. The distrustful soon left animal power behind and unleashed the possibilities of mechanical motor skills. Already then there was talk of electric motors but the idea did not quite come together.
Centuries later, we are immersed in a radical change in the concept of mobility: an example is the anti-pollution protocols , and the response of the industry with more ecological propellants and alternatives to the traditional use of vehicles.
Climate change is a reality, a natural process on our planet that we have been in charge of accelerating at full speed. The worst fires in history are happening, Australia loses millions of animal lives while Alaska suffers its worst thaw since data is available. Nobody can turn a deaf ear to this planetary emergency, not even the manufacturers of the automotive sector.
Traditional combustion is (in part) to blame for toxic emissions like NOx in our cities and, on a large scale, for the increase in CO2 in our air. Hence, the anti-pollution protocols of the cities have been primed with this sector, limiting its circulation through the implementation of the DGT environmental labels.
We are not going to discuss the coherence or logic of this measure, which penalizes old vehicles without taking into account their emissions compared to new models that can pollute even more.
In this gallery we will clarify which are the current alternatives to traditional gasoline or diesel, so that you better understand what type of propulsion may interest you depending on the particular use of the vehicle. The options are very varied, but some are more implemented than others.
However, almost all of them have a common problem: the lack of public infrastructure and supply network.
