The Transportation of the Future, Here Today
In an electric drive vehicle, the torque is supplied to the wheels by an electric motor that is powered either solely by a battery, or an internal combustion engine using hydrogen, gasoline or diesel, or, by a fuel cell. Electric drive technology is used in vehicles ranging from bikes and scooters to forklifts, golf cars, passenger cars, buses and commercial trucks. It is even used at truck stops and shipping ports. Electric drive vehicle platforms include battery, plug-in hybrid, hybrid, and fuel cell electric vehicles. The world is watching with great interest as researchers work to bring zero-emission, hydrogen powered fuel cell cars from the laboratory to the fast lane. But most people board their city buses, or watch their luggage rolling to the airplane without ever realizing that they are already reaping the benefits of electric drive technology.
