Alternative Fuel Vehicle
An Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) is a type of vehicle that runs on fuels other than traditional gasoline or diesel. These vehicles can use a variety of energy sources, including electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, and natural gas. AFVs are designed to reduce emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to a cleaner environment.
Common examples of AFVs include electric vehicles (EVs), which are powered by batteries, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which generate electricity through a chemical reaction. By utilizing alternative fuels, these vehicles aim to improve air quality and promote sustainable transportation options.
