Combustion vehicle

A combustion vehicle is a vehicle that uses combustion to move, usually employing an Internal combustion engine (ICE). Because of this, they are also called Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs).
There are to main types:
* All-Combustion Vehicles (ACVs), where the only source to move the engine(s) is provided using combustion.
* Hybrid Combustion Vehicles: they can be hybrid electric (if electricity can also be used) or other type vehicles.
Fuel and propulsion technologies
Most automobiles in use today are propelled by gasoline (also known as petrol) or diesel internal combustion engines, which are known to cause air pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming. Increasing costs of fossil fuels, tightening environmental laws and restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions are propelling work on alternative power systems for automobiles. Efforts to improve or replace existing technologies include the development of hybrid vehicles and electric and hydrogen vehicles which do not release pollution into the air. Electric vehicles are experience nowadays a big expansion, with production and preproduction models.
