Vehicle Technology Advantages And Disadvantages

Vehicle Technology

Various concerns over the environment have led to the emergence of new technologies and products, which are not only fuel efficient, but also minimize harmful emissions without compromising with the performance, safety and cost. The electrification and hybridization of vehicles is a complex task, which involves challenges related to chassis design and layout, vehicle dynamics, system integration, power management and optimization. Since electric and hybrid vehicles are complex systems, the design requires the manufacturer to consider several aspects. While the technology used for propulsion in a number of modern vehicles is through an internal combustion engine, which makes use of fuel and oxidizer, the propulsion technology in electric vehicles makes use of electricity instead of petrol and diesel. One of the greatest advantages of electric vehicles is the option of battery swapping. Electric vehicles also make use of powertrain technology, which allows the conversion of one or multiple forms of energy into mechanical energy thereby enabling propulsion

It is surprising to know that China has already been using extended-range electric technology in buses and specific passenger cars. The technology is mostly suitable for public vehicles as they produce fewer emissions and save the environment. Furthermore, in the case of deficient energy, the technology supplies power from the generator driven by power engine, which has the potential to recharge even when the vehicle is stationary. Extended-range electric technology also solves the problem of air-conditioning unlike other electric vehicles. Since the battery lasts for a longer time, the availability of charging stations and replacement batteries is not a major
