ABSTRACT
THIS BOOK LAYS OUT, for a global business audience, the exciting developments in the world of sustainable transport. Not the vehicles or modes of transport themselves, but their means of propulsion. This is a fast-moving field with many new technologies and players coming and going with bewildering speed. Some observers are putting their money on electric vehicles, others on hybrids being around for many years to come. Some see electric vehicles as a mere stepping stone to hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles, already being seen on city streets. The mere mention of biofuels often provokes fierce arguments about their sustainability, yet they, too, are here to stay and will be filling more and more gasoline tanks.
