Abstract

The major advantages of electric propulsion compared to conventional power transmission drive of diesel engine to the wheels are presented and explained. It is in briefly showed development of some electrical vehicles in our country. The analysis of the electric drive showed some advantages of electric propulsion, such as operation without thermo emission of the vehicle, improved maneuvering and noiseless operating of the vehicle and saving fossil fuel. For any applications, hybrid vehicles have some good features of electric drive and vehicles with IC engines. Some military applications in the world of electric vehicle will be shown in this paper.
