ICEV

ICEV is an acronym that commonly refers to Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle. This type of vehicle is powered by an engine that burns fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, to generate power. The combustion process creates expanding gases that push a piston, which in turn drives a crankshaft, ultimately providing the energy to move the vehicle. ICEVs have been the dominant form of personal transportation for over a century and are characterized by their internal combustion engines, transmissions, fuel systems, and exhaust systems.

The technology behind ICEVs has evolved significantly since their inception. Early vehicles were often crude and inefficient, but advancements in engine design, fuel injection, and emissions control have led to more powerful, efficient, and cleaner-burning ICEVs. Modern ICEVs typically feature complex electronic control units that manage engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Despite the rise of alternative powertrains, ICEVs remain a significant part of the global automotive market due to factors such as established infrastructure for refueling and a wide range of available models and price points.
