Abstract

Since early 1900s, gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines have represented the most successful automotive powering systems despite their low efficiency, their emissions issues and the increasing cost of fuel. Their main advantage over both gas engines and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is the very high energy density of liquid fuel that allows long driving ranges with small (and light-weight) storage tanks and safe and fast refueling processes. Moreover, gasoline and diesel fuels have an established infrastructure of distribution that is difficult and very expensive to replicate for other energy sources.
