This article provides a comprehensive look at the energy and resources required for transport and also at the benefits and disadvantages of replacing conventional energy resources in transport. Besides the issue of replacing fossil fuels, it also describes various trends in alternative drives, which are compared with conventional drives, in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact.

Keywords: transport, energy, non-renewable resources.
