Abstract
Given the dependence of our transport system in combustible hydrocarbons that, besides generating serious pollution levels, eventually will become scarce, severely affecting the world economy- it is compulsory to develop non polluting transportation, capable of operating with alternative energies. In the avant-guard of this technological achievement are the competition solar automobiles, that have made great contributions (particularly for the rigorous application of the design for efficiency principles) in the development of the applicable technology to the electric vehicles. Tonatiuh is the first competition solar car built in Mexico. In 1993 Tonatiuh will compete in the Rally Formula Sol in Mexico and in the World Solar of Australia. A superficial comparison of electric vehicles with vehicles equipped with internal combustion motors, demonstrates the great advantages of the first ones, most of all at the light of the current technological advances propitiated by laws that demand them for the sale of electric vehicles. This incipient industry presents a great opportunity for Mexico, since the markets are not saturated and exist large areas of research and development. For improvement of the air quality in Mexico city, the electric vehicle would have a very positive impact, mostly applied to public transportation. [Espanol] Dada la

Una comparacion somera de vehiculos electricos con motores de combustion interna, demuestra las grandes ventajas de los primeros, sobre todo a la luz de los actuales avances tecnologicos propiciados por leyes que exigen la venta de vehiculos electricos. Esta naciente industria presenta una gran oportunidad para Mexico, ya que los mercados no estan saturados y existen amplias areas de investigacion y desarrollo. Para mejorar la calidad del aire en la ciudad de Mexico, los vehiculos electricos tendrian un impacto muy positivo, sobre todo aplicados en el transporte publico.}
