The newer electric fans move as much or more air as mechanical. In fact, they move air more consistently than mechanical, also, since they run the same speed regardless of engine speed. A mechanical fan has only a small band of the engine RPM where they are efficient, hence overheating problems when running at low RPM's while crawling or in slow-moving road traffic.
