concepts other than ICEs have the potential for zero emissions at the point of use.
However, the wide penetration of such technologies is expected to continue to be
hindered by performance issues, such as limited operational range and drivability
concerns. For these reasons, but also due to the relatively high cost, hybrid and
electric vehicles are still considered a niche market despite the relatively wide range
of models offered. Overcoming technological and infrastructural barriers remains
a key future challenge for the wider penetration of such vehicles into the fleet.
