Different vehicle technologies are compared on their environmental merit; following environmental impact categories are discussed: climate change, respiratory effects, acidification and mineral resource depletion. The results contain all the life stages of a vehicle: Well-to-Tank (the production and distribution of the fuel and electricity), Tank-To-Wheel (including tailpipe emissions as well as road, tire and break abrasion), vehicle production (including the production of raw materials, components and the assembly), production drivetrain (including lithium batteries, the NiMH batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen tanks, electric motors and controllers) and the End-of-Life of the vehicle and the drive train (including recycling, incineration and landfilling).
