Considerations about the local and global environmental impact of autonomy electric transport

In order to substantiate some impact studies, the paper presents some considerations regarding the main factors determining the local and global impact on the environment of the autonomy electric transport in comparison with the classic traction by internal combustion engines. The main conclusion of the paper is that from the point of view of the local impact, autonomy electric transport-independent of contact lines, is quite advantageous, but from a global point of view, especially for geographic areas where the share of fossil and biomass energy resources is major, Hybrid systems with internal (optimized)/ electric traction (besides other advantages) can have a significantly reduced impact.
