Abstract

This chapter highlights the role of green technologies and provides an insight into the ways in which they can help reduce carbon emissions. It studies various options and features related to green technology (alternative fuel‐powered vehicles (AFVs)) in terms of emissions in transportation and logistics. The chapter introduces AFVs, providing information on the current UK market and then goes into detail about their various types, including layout, design, and features. It provides comprehensive battery specification information: how various power auxiliaries affect energy consumption, the charging implications for the batteries and the costs involved. The chapter also highlights specific features of the AFVs such as regenerative braking and carbon dioxide emissions. With most goods vehicles currently in the market being diesel, the chapter focuses on these combustion engine types, rather than petroleum‐fueled combustion engines. It then goes on to discuss future engines with electric vehicles and ultra‐low emissions vehicles.
