Sustainable Mobility and Transportation Symposium (SMTS 2025) / 16-18 October 2025
Analytical Overview of Accident Emergencies Arising from the Structure and Characteristics of Various Alternative Fuel Vehicles
The spread of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) poses new technological and legal challenges. While these vehicles contribute to sustainable transport, their specific operational characteristics require specific regulation and infrastructure. The study analyses the risks associated with AFVs, in particular with regard to occupational safety and operation, and the extent to which the current legal framework in Hungary is able to address these challenges. It also examines the integration of AFVs into the existing transport and service network and makes recommendations for improving regulation, training and infrastructure. The study aims to contribute to enhancing road safety and legal clarity by showing that the safe integration of AFVs requires the modernisation of regulation and the adaptation of technical protocols.
