The automobile sector is about to enter a revolutionary era characterized by an unwavering search for effective and sustainable transportation solutions. Of all the developments reshaping transportation in the future, hybrid cars stand out as a key component of this transformation. "New Generation Hybrid Vehicles," an academic book, explores the complex world of hybrid propulsion systems and provides a thorough analysis of their design, technology, and effects on the automobile industry.
There has never been a greater demand for more environmentally friendly transportation options as we negotiate the intricacies of environmental issues and energy sustainability. Hybrid automobiles constitute a crucial nexus between innovation and tradition since they combine conventional internal combustion engines with cutting-edge electric propulsion. This book seeks to be a lighthouse at this crossroads, offering scholars, practitioners, and students a sophisticated grasp of the rapidly developing field of hybrid car technology.
We begin with a brief history of hybrid cars, following their development from the earliest test drives to the advanced systems seen in modern cars. Subsequently, we explore the essential ideas behind hybrid technology, dissecting the subtleties of powertrain design, energy-saving techniques, and the mutually beneficial partnership between internal combustion engines and electric motors.
The next few chapters take you through the maze of cutting-edge materials, control schemes, and integration difficulties that characterize the contemporary hybrid car. Our authors, who come from both academia and industry, share their knowledge to shed light on important ideas, engineering tenets, and the most recent developments in the field. Every aspect of the hybrid car ecosystem-from mild hybrids to plug-in hybrids, from regenerative braking to energy storage technologies.
This book also discusses the economic, social, and policy aspects of hybrid cars, providing a comprehensive view of how they will influence transportation in the future. Technological breakthroughs alone won't be enough to bring about in a sustainable automotive future; we also need a thorough grasp of the political, social, and economic dynamics that shape this development.
