Currently the two major development directions for the environmentally friendly drive of the future are battery electric vehicles and vehicles with fuel cells. Both approaches have in common that the drive function is an electric drive. In the case of a battery electric vehicle the electricity is generated in the infrastructure whereas the fuel cell vehicle needs fuel—most commonly used candidate is hydrogen—and the electricity is generated onboard by the fuel cell. Catenary systems are another variant of an electric vehicle.
