DDalvoy Solutions
All three vehicle types mentioned are considered alternative powertrain vehicles:
I. Full battery electric vehicles: These run entirely on electric power stored in batteries, producing zero direct emissions and representing a complete departure from fossil fuel dependency.
II. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles: These use hydrogen to generate electricity through fuel cells, emitting only water vapor and offering rapid refueling capabilities similar to conventional vehicles.
III. Fuel cell electric hybrid vehicles: These combine fuel cell technology with battery storage, offering flexibility in power delivery and optimized energy management for different driving conditions.
All three represent alternatives to conventional internal combustion engines and are part of the global clean mobility transition strategy.
SUPSC Prelims Strategy and Tips
For vehicle technology questions, categorize each option based on whether it uses alternative energy sources (electric, hydrogen, hybrid) versus conventional fossil fuels. Alternative powertrains are any propulsion systems that don't rely solely on traditional internal combustion engines.
