The most complete, expert book on modern automobiles available, Modern Electric, Hybrid Electric, and Fuel Cell
Vehicles covers the fundamentals, theory, and design of cars with internal combustion engines, electric vehicles,
hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. It examines the performance, configuration, control strategy,
design methodology, modeling, and simulation of these different vehicles based on the mathematical equations. Writing
in easy-to-understand language with nearly 300 illustrations, the authors emphasize the overall drive train system
rather than specific components and describe the design methodology step by step, with design examples and simulation
results.
