| Abstract |
The purpose of the program was to provide background information and recommendations required for development of future research and development programs on low-pollution-potential propulsion systems for urban vehicles. The study itself consisted of a first screening of possible alternative systems to identify those that were the most promising so that future efforts could be concentrated on these. So as not to screen out systems that could be enhanced through directed research and development efforts, alternative systems were evaluated on the basis of the characteristics that they could be expected to have 10 to 15 years in the future, assuming that development efforts were expended on them. As a result of the study, a few alternative propulsion systems have been identified as being quite promising for urban-vehicle application, while a large number of systems were found to be unsuitable for such application.
