Smart Electric and Hybrid Vehicles - by Mohd Tariq & Arif I Sarwat (Hardcover)

About the Book

"In 2021, electric vehicles represented about 4.5% of total passenger car sales globally. This is projected to increase by 20% by 2030 as many countries are developing plans to phase out conventional fuel-based ground vehicles. To support these efforts, there is an increasing demand among automotive, mechanical, and electrical engineers for information related to electric and hybrid electric vehicles."--

From the Back Cover

Thorough reference on technologies, designs, and strategies for electric and hybrid electric vehicles, featuring contributions from international experts

Designed for readers who need to review different types of electric and hybrid vehicle designs and strategies in a single book, Smart Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Advancements in Materials, Design, Technologies, and Modeling provides a broad overview of the field with additional resources to explore individual topics in greater depth. Abstracts, case studies, references to key data, and relevant numerical simulations are included throughout the text to aid in reader comprehension.

This book introduces the global landscape of hybrid and electric vehicles, covering the available technologies from both a mechanical and electrical engineering perspective, presenting mathematical aspects of modeling and analysis, and surveying emerging trends and economic impacts. It also explains all fundamentals, regulations, policies, perceptions, and market competition aspects of intelligent electric vehicles, as well as how smart electric and hybrid vehicles can be utilized to reduce harmful emissions and reliance on fossil fuels over the lifecycle of a vehicle.

Edited by a team of highly qualified academics, with contributions by an array of international experts, Smart Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Advancements in Materials, Design, Technologies, and Modeling includes information on:

• Electric machine and inverter designs, maximum speed considerations, component cooling, power density, and material performance
• Battery systems, fuel cells, plug-in vehicles, mechanical drives and storage systems, and the role of power electronics tools
• The impact of trends and technologies like AI, machine vision, and digital twins, as well as related cyber security considerations
• Optimization of manufacturing waste, charging stations, sensing control, road trajectory prediction, and navigation systems
• Electrical interfaces to protect against electric shock and cost effectiveness compared to gasoline-powered vehicles

Smart Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Advancements in Materials, Design, Technologies, and Modeling is an essential reference on the subject for mechanical engineers, industrial engineers, and academic researchers working in the automotive sector. It is also an ideal learning resource for post-graduate students in the automotive field.
