Clean energy vehicle
| Advantages | Disadvantages | |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gas vehicle Instead of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas | Nitrogen oxides from diesel cars by 10 to 30 percent reduction. Particulate matter (PM) emissions are not. | Conventional car body prices up 1.4 to 2 times. Filling 1 per mile short (150 to 350 kg.) Large and heavy tank by fuel supply is low (around Japan about 180 places) |
| Methanol cars Gasoline or diesel oil instead of alcohol (methanol) and the fuel | Nitrogen oxides from diesel vehicles to reduce the ratio of 50% Particulate matter (PM) emissions are not | Body conventional car prices rose 1.1 to 2 times. When the problem starts with Low Toxic fuel. When you start formaldehyde emissions low fuel supply facilities (50 locations nationwide in Japan extent) |
| LP gas vehicle (Diesel substitute) | Nitrogen oxides from diesel cars by 10 to 30 percent reduction. Particulate matter (PM) emissions are not | Body ratio of 2 times the price of conventional vehicles. No effect of oil alternative. By fuel supply is low (about locations throughout Japan in 2000) |
| Hybrid vehicle. Expression, such as internal combustion engine and two motor-powered drive to efficiently switch. | Fuel efficiency. Emissions cut. The possible conversion of existing fuel distribution infrastructure. Mileage of conventional cars and better. | Body conventional car prices rose 1.1 times to 1.7. Battery replacement is required |
| Fuel cell vehicles. Fuel cells generate electricity, motor travel. | If hydrogen fuel and not only water emissions | Lease rates high (around 1 million yen per month) By low fuel supply. Specifications challenges in cold climates. |
| Electric vehicle. Storage batteries and motor travel. | Gas emissions without running. Low-noise. Low vibration. | The price of conventional car body 2 to 3.5 times. Battery replacement is expensive. 1 charge per short driving distance (100 to 200 kg.) |

I myself have been looking around this is some good information
