Efforts to use alternative fuels to power vehicles are not a recent phenomenon. There are three main reasons for finding new ways to power motor vehicles: the thinning reserves of fossil fuels, the fuel economy of vehicles and environmental impacts.This paper aims to find a possible use of alternative fuels as a tool for growth in a metallurgical enterprise. The current state and possibilities of using alternative fuels led to two basic areas of research: the first one looked at vehicles that could be used in the operations of a metallurgical enterprises and could make use of alternative fuels and the second one looked at the further development of the use of alternative fuels in the automotive industry, which subsequently represents a tool for growth in metallurgical enterprises.The conclusion evaluates the economic and ecological aspects of the use of vehicles with alternative drives/fuels in a metallurgical enterprise, as well as growth opportunities in terms of production programs in a metallurgical enterprise.

Keywords: alternative fuels, alternative transportation
