Abstract

The paradigm of sustainable development – equal treatment of economic, social, environmental and cultural spheres is the basis of development strategies and current economic policy in all developed and developing countries of the world. Currently, the aspect of ecological friendliness, i.e. the need to reduce the negative impact on the environment, is the main factor leading to the development of technology and organization in all areas of the economy. Meanwhile, according to studies, among the anthropogenic activities, the largest adverse impact on the environment is caused by transport activities, and in the transport sector itself. The largest source responsible for greenhouse gas emissions is road transport. Therefore, the motorization sector is constantly looking for new solutions to reduce its negative effects. One of them is the wide-scale dissemination of vehicles with electric engines. Currently, battery-powered vehicles are being produced and used on an increasingly large scale. There are also new solutions such as electric vehicles with fuel cells. The paper indicates which type of electric vehicles, battery-powered or fuel-cell-powered, is a better solution for shaping a transport system free of pollution and noise under present conditions. A comparative analysis of battery- and cell-powered vehicles was performed. It was observed that battery powered vehicles are currently a better option than cell powered vehicles. The biggest barrier to the development of cell-powered vehicles is the acquisition of hydrogen and construction of the infrastructure.
