About
Filip Polak is a researcher advancing sustainable transportation technologies, with a primary focus on the energetic performance and ecological viability of electric and hybrid propulsion systems. His work critically examines the real-world environmental impact of electric vehicles, challenging prevailing assumptions about their inherent "green" credentials. In his most cited study, "Energy balance comparison of small unmanned vehicle equipped with electric and hybrid propulsion system" (2020), Polak provides a rigorous comparative analysis of the energetic balance between pure electric powertrains and electric hybrid transmissions. This research offers essential insights into the nuanced trade-offs between energy efficiency, range, and overall environmental footprint, demonstrating that the ecological benefits of electric vehicles are not absolute but depend on system design and operational context. While his citation count is currently modest, Polak’s contribution is significant for its foundational role in evidence-based policy and engineering decisions, particularly for unmanned aerial vehicles. His work serves as a vital resource for students and engineers seeking to move beyond marketing narratives toward a balanced, data-driven understanding of sustainable mobility.
