Abstract

Currently, a high percentage of vehicles circulating primarily on the roads of Latin America use internal combustion engines as their source of propulsion, still relying on fossil fuels due to their ease of refueling. Although alternative technologies such as hydrogen and electric propulsion exist, implementing these mechanisms still requires widespread technological deployment, which many countries are still working towards. Additionally, these forms of energy generation have environmental impacts that, when combined with the technological implementation, result in a significant environmental footprint that cannot be ignored.
