- Contemporary and future battlefield may be characterized by a great dynamism of action in both defensive and offensive operations. It is possible, that armoured and mechanized troops, acting at first attack, will suffer from shortages of supplies of materials and other equipment, especially propellants. It concerns particularly a fuel to engines of driving vehicles. Therefore in many cases for engine powering (as multi-propellant engines or adapted to work on substitute fuels) may be used substitute fuel. The fuel parameters sometimes may be much different from parameters of diesel. So it is substantially important to estimate their dynamics during the planning stage of combat missions. Paper includes attempt to estimate dynamic features of the combat vehicles using substitute propellants. Applying substitute propellants leads to reducing the power of the engine up to 10 % comparing to diesel. It has essential impact on lowering the dynamic ratio at similar level. That leads to lower maximum drive speed at given resistance ofmotion and reducing the ability to climb slopes. There also appears deterioration of spurt, extending the time of reaching speeds at about 17%. Paper shows results of traction calculations of combat vehicles and the influence of powering them with renewable fuel on their effectiveness.
