The hybrid car is a more environmentally friendly combination of current electrical and petrol technologies, the production of which now plays an important role in the plans of every major car-maker. The Hybrid Car Book provides readers with a thorough understanding of all the information they need in order to make the right choice. This volume presents a thorough comparison of all models available today, looking at price, technology, ecological advantages, and cost-effectiveness. It also looks at the myths and controversies that have surrounded hybrid cars since they became commercially available at the turn of the millennium, as well as offering a glimpse of what the future holds for this exciting new development in the automotive industry.

While powertrain system design and its control integration are traditionally divided into two different functional groups, a growing trend introduces the integration of more electronics (sensors, actuators, and controls) into the powertrain system. This has impacted the dynamics of the system, changing the traditional mechanical powertrain into a mechatronic powertrain, and creating new opportunities for improved efficiency. **Design and Control of Automotive Propulsion Systems** focuses on the ICE-based automotive powertrain system (while presenting the alternative powertrain systems where appropriate). Factoring in the multidisciplinary nature of the automotive propulsion system, this text does two things―adopts a holistic approach to the subject, especially focusing on the relationship between propulsion system design and its dynamics and electronic control, and covers all major propulsion system components, from internal combustion engines to transmissions and hybrid powertrains. 

The book introduces the design, modeling, and control of the current automotive propulsion system, and addresses all three major subsystems: system level optimization over engines, transmissions, and hybrids (necessary for improving propulsion system efficiency and performance). It provides examples for developing control-oriented models for the engine, transmission, and hybrid. It presents the design principles for the powertrain and its key subsystems. It also includes tools for developing control systems and examples on integrating sensors, actuators, and electronic control to improve powertrain efficiency and performance. In addition, it presents analytical and experimental methods, explores recent achievements, and discusses future trends.


Comprised of five chapters containing the fundamentals as well as new research, this text:

Examines the design, modeling, and control of the internal combustion engine and its key subsystems: the valve actuation system, the fuel system, and the ignition system
Expounds on the operating principles of the transmission system, the design of the clutch actuation system, and transmission dynamics and control
Explores the hybrid powertrain, including the hybrid architecture analysis, the hybrid powertrain model, and the energy management strategies
Explains the electronic control unit and its functionalities―the software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop techniques for developing and validating control systems


**Design and Control of Automotive Propulsion Systems** provides the background of the automotive propulsion system, highlights its challenges and opportunities, and shows the detailed procedures for calculating vehicle power demand and the associated powertrain operating conditions.

*Understanding Automotive Electronics* is the first port of call for control engineers, system engineers and electronic engineers in the automotive industry needing a thorough grounding in automotive electronics and control.

From simple automotive electronic circuits to the latest developments in telematics, active safety, entertainment and communications, the book is also an ideal resource for more senior automotive engineers without a background in electronics or control needing to work in the area or supervise specialists.

Thoroughly updated throughout, this new edition moves away from introductory mechanic-level electronics to cover more hot topics such as transmission control, hybrid control, AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) and vehicle networks.




- Comprehensive coverage of automotive electronics and control, including the latest technology in telematics, active safety, entertainment and communications
- Covers the topic from an engineering perspective rather than a technician or mechanic-focused trouble-shooting level
- Ideal as a conversion tool for control and electronic engineers moving into the automotive industry and a valuable reference for all automotive engineers without an electronics background needing to understand this far-reaching topic
