Vehicle Engineering


How to start writing and defining the role of vehicles in world today? Is it better to mention numbers, statistics, facts, reports, data....perhaps fuel emissions should be the hottest first sentence as an eye catcher, or new technologies and advances in the field? Whatever one chooses, there is so much to say; far more than a preface can offer, or that a preface should contain.
It is estimated that for the first time in history, this year, over 60 million passenger cars will be produced making up over 74% of total annual vehicle production. This means over 60 million people will own a new vehicle making their travels safer with better fuel efficiency than ever. We often read car magazines, watch racing on TV and show off with our new engine underneath the hood. Those are the moments when enormous number of questions pop out, thinking what is next? Where is the limit? Are the producers up to the task; or can they improve? Nevertheless, is the fuel efficiency making a difference in home budget taking in consideration sky rocketing oil prices? Perhaps we are witnessing the dawn of vehicles powered by new energy sources?
Indeed, many excellent questions. Some of the answers (or possible answers) can be found here, within covers of this book, divided into three sections: New Technologies and Advances in Automotive Engineering, Passenger and Transportation Safety and Services, and Electrical Engines and Environment Protection.
Each section covers novelties, discussions and engineering solutions to specific problems and issues. Authors, each and every one a master in the field, have tried (and did a great job) bringing their chapters both to a wider audience as well as to the specific niche of researchers, engineers and other experts making this book a great addition to many shelves.
