Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technology

Growing concerns over the limited supply of fossil-based fuels are motivating intense activity in the search for alternative road transportation propulsion systems. In more regulatory pressures to reduce urban pollution Carbon Oxides emissions and city noise have made plug-in electric vehicles a very attractive choice as the alternative to the internal combustion engine.However despite the enormous benefits of such vehicles their adoption and uptake has to this point been disappointing. In this Book we shall outline some of the impediments to electric vehicles and discuss some of the solutions to these problems that will be addressed in this book as well as other opportunities that arise when using this new form of mobility. In response to increasing demand for low-carbon technologies we educate in hybrid and fully electric vehicle development. These books show students and professionals alike how electrical and mechanical engineers must work together to complete an alternative vehicle system.It empowers them to carry on state-of-the-art research and development in automotive engineering in order to meet today's needs of clean efficient and sustainable vehicle
