Sažetak
Looking for solutions to sustainable mobility since the first petrol crises at the beginning of the 70’ s led to a tremendous development of new technologies for alternative drives. They enabled development of a broad spectrum of various drive systems for ground vehicles. The article gives a review of various concepts of drive systems, starting from electric drives up to fuel-cells and various hybrid drives, where application of new technologies enables better fuel efficiency and better protection of the nature. The article points out the benefits which could be taken from various alternative drive systems and the state-of-the-art of the technologies involved. Examples of application, i.e. vehicles being nowadays on the road, of some alternative drive concepts are shown and their achievements concerning fuel economy and environmental protection are pointed out. The article leads to a conclusion that the problem of fuel economy and protection of the nature concerns every country, and there is not a universal solution to those problems. The threat of the final dead of fossil fuels is closer than ever, and along with the global worming, the situation could rapidly worsen, which will most dangerously affect the developing countries. Therefore every country should act urgently to take part in the development of advanced technologies for alternative drives, and along with it renewable energy production, in order to find out appropriate solutions to sustainable mobility, which will most probably be largely diversified and certainly will depend on local conditions.
