ABSTRACT
The paper contains basic information about the currently used methods of construction and
maintenance, that result in the reduction of fuel consumption by mass transit vehicles, for
both passenger and freight vehicles. Particular attention was given to solutions using hybrid
systems (regenerative braking) and systems that recover energy from exhaust gas (thermoelectric
generators. The economic aspects of exploitation of such vehicles associated with the
proper control of drive units (i.e. eco-driving) were also considered.
