Most vehicles also run on fossil fuels, which presents a major emissions problem. Reducing emissions levels requires both optimisation of core vehicle technologies and design and the development and implementation of breakthrough technologies for improved performance. This book provides comprehensive and systematic coverage of advanced fuels and vehicle technologies that will be instrumental in improving the energy efficiency and environmental impact of the automotive sector. Sections review the development of fuel types and infrastructures, advanced engines and powertrain, and consider hybrid and electric vehicle technologies. ER -
