Abstract
The production of energy for traction in classical vehicles is performed by petrol or oil combustion. The consequence is green gas production. Paper deals with different power trains of electric hybrid and electric vehicles. Electric hybrid vehicles diminish the fuel consumption by giving to the internal combustion engine (ICE) better working conditions with respect to ICE revolutions and demanded power. The kinetic braking energy recovery is an important feature too. Electric vehicles are usually called “green vehicles”. It is true that they do not produce green gas on places where they are driving but it is also true that their traction energy has to be produced with another energy technology used in electric plants. The efficiency of the vehicle powertrain is important. The energy for transportation by vehicles in the world is great. Therefore it is very important what energy production technology for this traction purposes will be used.
