Most of the world's energy needs are met from fossil sources. However, the decrease in fossil resources and the burning of the fuels obtained from these sources have negative aspects such as environmental pollution, acid rain or global warming. The sensitivity shown to the environment is directly related to the economic and welfare levels of the countries. Therefore, the amount of harmful substances that can be found in the exhaust emission in economically developed countries has been determined by standards. Due to such negative effects, studies are carried out on alternative energy sources. Alternative energy sources are a product that is released as a result of the reaction of vegetable oils or animal oils obtained from oilseed plants such as canola, sunflower, corn, cotton, camelina etc. with methanol, a short-chain alcohol, in the presence of a catalyst and used as fuel. Domestic frying oils and animal based oils can also be used as biodiesel raw materials. The eurodiesel fuel used in diesel engines is the main energy source for transportation and freight transportation. Biodiesel produced from oils are important alternative fuels for diesel engines. In this study, the effects of vehicles using different biofuels and mixtures in our country and the world on the chassis dynamometer were investigated, especially on vehicle performance and emissions.
