Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
In recent years, the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids has grown rapidly. This trend is driven by efforts to combat climate change and reduce fuel costs.
Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero emissions during operation.
Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, reducing fuel consumption and harmful emissions.
In Azerbaijan, demand for hybrid and electric cars is rising. As charging stations increase in major cities, EV usage becomes more accessible.
Alternative Fuels: Hydrogen and Biofuels
Fuel options are not limited to electricity. New technologies are making vehicles more environmentally friendly:
Hydrogen vehicles: They only emit water vapor and are particularly suitable for buses and trucks.
Biofuel vehicles: Made from plant or organic waste, they reduce carbon emissions.
Carbon Footprint and Vehicle Production
Vehicle manufacturing impacts the environment:
Factories consume significant energy and contribute to carbon emissions.
Materials like steel, aluminum, and plastic require large amounts of energy to produce.
Many automakers are adopting green production technologies: solar power, energy-efficient factories, and recycled materials.
Car-Sharing and New Mobility Models
Car-sharing services, electric scooters, and bicycles reduce traffic congestion and help keep cities clean.
Sharing vehicles decreases individual car usage.
Using electric scooters or bicycles for short trips reduces diesel and gasoline emissions.
The Green Car of the Future
Full electrification of vehicles is expected in the next 10–15 years.
Automakers will continue producing models that meet environmental standards.
Cities will expand “green zones,” EV parking areas, and charging stations.
Conclusion:
The automotive industry plays a key role in protecting the environment. Electric vehicles, hybrids, hydrogen and biofuel technologies, and sharing models indicate a more sustainable and efficient future for mobility.
