Abstract

Sustainable development and ways to contribute to its goals are topics with increasing importance. This study aims to highlight what are the capacities of different solutions of propulsion systems of cars to support those efforts in the region of Western Balkan. Based on wide research done several years ago and the development of automotive technology in the meantime, some significant conclusions have been drawn. Analysis covers five alternatives of car propulsion systems, taking into consideration their advantages and disadvantages. After identifying 90 indicators of sustainable development, the AHP method of analysis has been employed with interviewing 73 professionals from Western Balkan countries. The results are shown in a graphic illustrative way. As an addition, an analysis of further development of automotive technology has been analyzed, and shorter AHP analysis has been done again. These additional results show the direction of change in this area of transport and its capability to contribute to the sustainable development goals.
Key words: Car, Electric, Propulsion systems, Sustainability.
