Let us take into consideration the emissions due to 100 vehicles. On the other hand, the burning of the fuel in an internal combustion engine releases enormous amounts of pollutants. The vehicles that use the electric powertrain are Zero Emission Vehicles.
They have been analysed under the emissions, externalities related to the production of these engines, the operation, the maintenance, and the ownership of these engines. The study provides a comparison between both the engines. From the cradle to the grave, the electric powertrain is less polluting than the internal combustion engine, even when the higher emissions associated with the manufacturing of the electric powertrain are taken into account. On the other hand, an electric motor (or electric powertrain) converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. This includes the engine, transmission, drive shafts, differentials, and the final drive.Īn internal combustion engine burns fuel to create heat, which creates force that propels a vehicle forward. A powertrain is a term used to describe a motor vehicle’s main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water or air. I interned at the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) for a period of 3 weeks in April-May 2018 and researched on “Electric Mobility for Intermediate Para Transit.” Among my projects was a comparative study between an internal combustion engine and an electric powertrain. In the future, I plan to be a mechanical engineer, who creates useful devices for the benefit of Earth and humankind. I am an 18-year-old environmentalist, and have been committed to improving the air quality in my city, New Delhi over the past two years.
