Kütuseliik

Kütuseliik is a term used in Estonia to describe the type of fuel used in a vehicle. The most common kütuseliik in Estonia are petrol (bensiin) and diesel (diisel). Petrol is a type of fuel derived from crude oil, and it is used in internal combustion engines. Diesel, on the other hand, is also derived from crude oil but is used in compression-ignition engines. Both petrol and diesel are widely available in Estonia, with petrol being the more common fuel for passenger cars and diesel being more prevalent in commercial vehicles.

In addition to petrol and diesel, Estonia also has a small number of electric vehicles (EVs) on its roads. EVs use electricity as their primary source of power, and they are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits. Estonia has also been investing in the development of charging infrastructure to support the growth of the EV market.

Another less common kütuseliik is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). LPG is a flammable gas that is used as a fuel for vehicles. It is often used in buses and other commercial vehicles due to its lower emissions compared to diesel. LPG is also used in some passenger cars, particularly in countries where it is more readily available.

The choice of kütuseliik can have a significant impact on a vehicle's performance, emissions, and fuel efficiency. It is important for vehicle owners to consider their specific needs and preferences when choosing a kütuseliik. Additionally, the availability of different kütuseliik can vary depending on the location, so it is important to check local availability before making a decision.
