Interest in HEVs and BEVs is driven by a dramatic reduction in or elimination of tailpipe emissions, and the increased fuel economy of these vehicle types helps reduce the world’s dependence on oil. Therefore, it is not clear whether there would be a substantial reduction in emissions by switching to these new powertrain technologies.
