Electric and hybrid vehicles is written specifically for automotive students, technicians and vehicle owners. It covers the basics but also goes into detail on key technologies such as batteries, hybrid layouts and motors.

Clear diagrams, photos and flow charts outline the charging infrastructure, how H/EV technology works, and how to repair and maintain hybrid and electric vehicles. Case studies are used to illustrate technologies in use.

£29.99

Alternative Fuel Vehicles begins with an overview of the subject, before outlining what is meant by alternative fuels, why they are necessary, and why climate change and associated legislation are key drivers. Details of how alternative fuels are made, the supply infrastructure, and how these vehicles work are all included.

A chapter on engine management includes coverage of combustion as an aid to understanding why changing the type of engine fuel is complex. Real-life case studies and examples illustrate different technologies in use.

£29.99

Automated Driving Vehicles are set to transform the world and are here already undergoing serious testing in several countries. This book explains the technologies in language that is easy to understand, and is accessible to all readers. It covers the subject from several angles but in particular shows the links to existing ADAS technologies already in use in modern vehicles.
