Best Answer

Internal combustion engines, working on the 'Otto' four stroke cycle.

Either petrol (Gasoline) or Diesel (Compression ignition).

Some have been made using a two stroke principle but have been outlawed because of emissions.

Apart from that, electric motors are now being pushed the fore, to enable emission free transport.
