Summary: The book presents - based on the most recent research and development results worldwide - the perspectives of new propulsion concepts such as electric cars with batteries and fuel cells, and furthermore plug in hybrids with conventional and alternative fuels. The propulsion concepts are evaluated based on specific power, torque characteristic, acceleration behaviour, specific fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The alternative fuels are discussed in terms of availability, production, technical complexity of the storage on board, costs, safety and infrastructure. The book presents summarized data about vehicles with electric and hybrid propulsion. The propulsion of future cars will be marked by diversity - from compact electric city cars and range extender vehicles for suburban and rural areas up to hybrid or plug in SUV´s, Pick up´s and luxury class automobilesSummary: Mobility: conditions, requirements and scenarios -- Combustion engines: processes, potentials, trends, alternative configurations -- Alternative fuels: energy sources, CNG, LPG, alcohols, hydrogen, oils, synthetic fuels -- Electric propulsion: electro mobility, motors batteries, fuel cells, automobiles with electric propulsion -- Combinations of propulsion systems, energy storage on board, energy conversion on board, range extender, hybrid configurations, plug-in solutions -- Energy management in the development and production of automobiles as a complex systemPPN: PPN: 1658674723Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-ENG
