The current trend shows that electric energy will outperform and eventually replace other types of automotive engines. It has demonstrated enormous potential for the development of the transportation sector.
The numerous advantages of electric motors include:
- Reduced or no emissions;
- Minimal noise impact;
- Reduced dependence on oil and petroleum products;
- Flexibility in vehicle design.
Despite their many advantages, electric motors are not without limitations. The cost of producing batteries is rising, and there are concerns about mining.
In addition, the production of batteries pollutes the environment more than internal combustion engines. However, future technological developments are likely to make battery mining and production more environmentally friendly and more efficient, leaving current ICE developments behind.
Automobiles have come a long way, and one of the main areas of development is the development of new types of automotive engines.
Innovation continues, and so far, internal combustion engines are still the longest-lasting and most common in the world. and although they are starting to be phased out in advanced countries, ICEs will continue to be used in third world countries for a long time to come.
In the future, we will see innovations in all three automotive engine configurations. Whether we have more electric vehicles or other types of engines, emissions and efficiency will be at the heart of any new development.
