Of about 40 elephants he took over the Alps, I believe all but one were smaller, Indian elephants with the one, larger, African elephant, being the exception.

Elephants were the then equivalent of the Tank on a modern battlefield. Unfortunately for Hannibal he lost most of his elephants in crossing the Alps so they were not a factor in his success. The Romans then developed tactics to neutralise elephants and even turn them around against their users. They were never a major factor in wars in Europe against the Romans when used by the Carthaginians and later on by the Greeks.

Who was the Carthaginian general that brought elephants across the Alps to attack Rome?
Hannibal invaded Italy. He brought 32 elephants with him.

Most of his elephants (if not all of them) died while crossing the Alps in the snowy winter.
