Abstract
A comparative assessment of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), battery electric

vehicles (BEVs), full hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles

(PHEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCVs) is conducted. For each powertrain a reference

vehicle is identified in the compact car segment. Five dimensions are selected in order to better

understand advantages and disadvantages of the single powertrains, namely: CO2 emissions,

NOx emissions, price of vehicle, driving range and noise pollution. A composite indicator

including all dimensions simultaneously is created and different weights are assigned to either

focus on environmental aspects of the vehicle or dimensions affecting the consumer’s choice

of purchasing. The results show that in regards to the reference vehicle BEVs and FCVs are

the more environmentally-benign options with respect to their emissions in vehicle operation.

HEVs on the other hand have the best composite indicator leading the dimensions noise and

price reflecting affordability. The life-cycle analysis and well-to-wheel approach are not

considered in the assessment.
