Assuming, that the vehicle mass stays constant. If the car is equipped with an internal combustion engine, it would be required not the release the exhaust gas. Or, alternatively, it is an electric vehicle.

His idea would be, the larger the temperature of the fluid is, the larger its energy content is.

Later on we will learn that heat is not a state value. Thus, a body never contains heat, but it contains internal energy. Any body will have a temperature, a parameter that characterises the state. Thermodynamically, in contrast to this, heat is a process value, that passes a body due to a temperature difference.
