Concern for the environment, the approaching end of fossil fuels and the dependence on oil exporting countries has revived the interest in alternative propulsion systems for vehicles. However, an assessment of alternative propulsion systems with respect to sustainability is very complex due to the variety of technologies as well as unsecure and conflicting economic, ecological and social consequences. This study provides a framework for assessing alternative propulsion systems for vehicles using the AHP methodology. A criteria catalogue is derived from existing approaches and the analysis of propulsion systems, their market situation and surrounding conditions. Its application is illustrated by the assessment of two exemplary propulsion systems.
