Abstract

This review provides a concise history of road transport vehicles and analyzes the environmental problems caused by them. Many issues have arisen as a result of modern transportation, such as air pollution, global warming, and the depletion of fossil fuels. The article covers the current and future electric vehicle needs of key nations. It explains various types of electric vehicles and discusses several configurations of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), including series, parallel, series-parallel, torque-coupling, and speed-coupling systems, and how they function. The article concludes by discussing potential future prospects for engineers and the electric vehicle industry.

Keywords
