The main purpose of the introduction of alternate fuel vehicles is to contribute to the reduction of pollution, the alternate energy for petroleum, and energy saving. This report describes the investigation of development status of methanol, natural gas and electric vehicles, which have high potentials as alternate fuel vehicles. Characteristics of such alternate fuel vehicles as methanol, natural gas and electric vehicles are compared with each other by using the same factors on the basis of technological data. First, outlines of individual alternate fuel vehicles are illustrated. Then, practicabilities of the alternate fuel vehicles are compared with each other, as for the output and energy densities, the maximum output and torque of motors, the power performance, the specific consumption of energy, the driving distance, the initial cost, running cost and life cycle cost of alternate fuel vehicles, the convenience of fuel and energy supply, the low-pollution, and the environmental influence of individual alternate fuel vehicles. Based on these comparisons, a simulated evaluation is provided.
