Alternative Fuels for CI Engines
Cvejn, Michal ; Prokop, Aleš (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
Interest in more environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing. Not only because of limited oil supplies, but also because emissions regulations are becoming more stringent. Diesel engines are widely used around the world, and not only in road transport. However, the electrification of the fleet may not be the only solution to the issue of sustainability in the future. This bachelor thesis presents an overview of fuels that could be used to replace diesel in diesel engines. For each of the individual fuels, the production process, leading properties, emission characteristics and any necessary engine design modifications are presented. Hydrotreated vegetable oil appears to be the best substitute for conventional diesel at present. Finally, the current availability of these fuels in the Czech Republic is given. More attention should be paid to this topic in the future.

Changes in the composition of the company's fleet in relation to the EU's "green deal" objectives
Tobiášová, Eliška ; Jandová, Kristýna (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
The purpose of this master thesis is to examine the so-called Green Deal and the related directives and regulations that are intended to help achieve the objectives set out in the Green Deal, as well as to analyse the fleets of the Member States of the European Union and the company with which cooperation has been established as part of this work. The thesis describes the Green Deal and its objectives. The European Union directives and plans with the aim of reducing CO2 that are currently approved or are yet to come into force are also mentioned, while at the same time they are compared with the directives and targets in force in the EU Member States, including the Czech Republic. In the following chapters, a brief description of the cars by type of fuel is given in order to follow a detailed analysis of the fleets of Germany, Sweden, Spain, Slovakia, France, Poland and the Czech Republic. This analysis is carried out using graphs and official statistics available from government institutions. Furthermore, an analysis of the company's fleet is made, summarising in tables the parameters of the vehicles available to the company. The results of the fleet analysis are also summarised in graphs based on the year of vehicle manufacture, emissions, and fuel type. In addition, an analysis of hybrids and electric vehicles currently in the company's fleet is also provided. This analysis works with data provided by the company and examines the cost of driving these vehicles, consumption, and battery usage ratio. Finally, a suggestion is made for the replacement of the current vehicles with the aim of saving emissions.

LNG palivo ve vozidlech - porovonání s konvenčním diselovým motorem v nákladním vozidle
KREBS, Petr
This bachelor thesis deals with the comparison of a liquid natural gas (LNG) engine with a diesel engine in the context of freight transport. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the economic, enviromental and technical aspects of both engine types and provide recommendations for potential investments in vehicle fleets and infrastructure. The study analysed the operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and technical parameters of LNG and diesel engines. It was found that the LNG engine has the potentional to reduce operating costs and greenhouse gases emissions compared to a diesel engine. The results of this work provide a comprehensive view of the issues and use of LNG and diesel as fuels in freight transport and offer recommendations for investment decision making and trategic planning.

Alternative Fuels for CI-engines
Matoušek, Martin ; Řehák, Kamil (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is alternative fuels applicable in diesel engines. First, a brief introduction to the diesel engine is given, then the individual alternative fuels are described. The most important findings about these fuels are summarized and a comparison with diesel fuel is made. Finally, each fuel is evaluated in terms of its advantages, disadvantages and applicability in practice.

Fuels from Biomass.
Poskočil, Milan ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Rauscher, Jaroslav (advisor)
Bachelor´s thesis deals with the study of the status quo use of fuels derived from biomass for automotive engines and their prospects. The goal of this work is processing the inventory of motor fuels derived from biomass, their utilization and illustrate the developments in this field. The work is focused mainly on the situation and developments in the Czech Republic.

Fuel for internal combustion engines
Vrbický, Jiří ; Jedelský, Jan (referee) ; Štětina, Josef (advisor)
This thesis is concerned with basic features of fuels for internal consumption engines, especially their influence on thermal efficiency. It also introduces dividing of fuels and their compare in ecologic, economic and technologic side. It is concerned convectional fuels (gasoline, diesel oil) and alternative fuels (nature gas, bottled gas, hydrogen, biodiesel, biogas, methanol and ethanol).

Critical Sector Analysis of the Fuel Market
Jaroš, Martin ; Strašil, Pavel (referee) ; Škapa, Stanislav (advisor)
In my bachelor‘s thesis I have analysed the diesel fuel market in the Czech Republic from the point of view of the petrol stations offers as well the consumers demand. It concerns oligopoly market form, where the front positions are taken by foreign brands. I have determined the structure type by the data referring to the market power of particular petrol station networks and also thanks to the price research itself. Consumers behave quite often very illogically in this market due to the lack of available information. These conclusions I have obtained by the market research I did on active drivers. A modern solution is a new web portal establishment based on cooperation with petrol stations, which would provide information about the fuel market to the drivers.

Measurement of dielectric properties of liquid fuels for automotive power units
Redr, Martin ; Čech, Ondřej (referee) ; Chladil, Ladislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis dealt with measuring of dielectric properties of propellants. The aim of the thesis was to find out differences between dielectric quantities of propellants from various manufacturers and in different proportions of refined to so-called bio-components. The theoretical physical principles of dielectric substances – permittivity and dissipation factor were described. In the thesis the most famous electrical insulation fluids whose dielectric characteristics are similar as propellants were mentioned. Furthermore, the study about dielectric properties of propellants and chosen fuels on the Czech market were mentioned. In the experimental part of the thesis, selected fuel samples at varying frequency and temperature were measured. These results were then evaluated and compared.

Determination of emissions and harmful particles of exhaust gases of CNG, petrol and diesel vehicles
Rozsíval, Adam ; Libich, Jiří (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
The thesis deals with an analyses of emission and harmful particles of exhaust fumes of automobiles with an environmental impact. More precisely, it describes the basic characteristics of current fuel types and emission produced by internal combustion engines. Next, it deals with the measures and possibilities of decreasing car traffic emission with respect to environmental impact. It also describes the current European standards for emission and the systems of the cars that are able to decrease emission. The work also deals with the measuring of emission and the methods that are used. According to the measuring methods, the analysis of exhalation is done and it is based on the data of the real car fleet. Values of the emission analyses are compared. The financial aspect is a part of the analyses.

Determination of CO2 exhaust emissions for CNG, petrol and diesel vehicles
Chytil, Ivo ; Libich, Jiří (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
The thesis deals with the topic of Carbon dioxide emissions that are created by Petrol, Diesel and CNG vehicles. In the first part of the thesis, the results of theoretical calculations are compared with the values of the manufacturer of the specific vehicle. In the second part, a specific method has been selected for calculations with real data from transport. The savings of CO2 produced by the specific vehicle are expressed in percentage – depending on the fuel used. The operating expenses from the real data are calculated and compared with hybrid and electric vehicles. In the final part of the thesis, the ratio of fleet type vehicles to the financial/ecological aspect was proposed.
