Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Principles and Applications with Practical Perspectives

About this book

Introduction to all types of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), with coverage of fundamentals, applications, and the latest industry technologies

Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Principles and Applications with Practical Perspectives provides an introduction to hybrid vehicles, from hybrid-electric, hybrid-hydraulic, and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles to fuel-cell vehicles and off-road hybrid vehicular systems. The book focuses on the propulsion systems for these vehicles, including issues related to power and energy management. Other topics covered include hybrid vs. pure electric, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) system architecture (including plug-in, charging control, and hydraulic), safety and EMC, storage technologies, vehicular power and energy management, diagnostics and prognostics, and electromechanical vibration issues.

This Third Edition has been updated to address the latest industry trends and technologies impacting HEVs, such as more detailed discussions on planetary gear, synchronous reluctance motors, fast-charging methods for batteries, and matters pertaining to cybersecurity in vehicles. The latest HEV industry data and examples highlighting automakers' current HEV models are featured throughout the book.

Topics discussed in Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Principles and Applications with Practical Perspectives include:

  • Specific state-of-the-art HEVs including the Toyota Prius, the Honda Civic, and the Ford Escape, with additional coverage of two-mode hybrid vehicles
  • HEV fundamentals, covering performance, powertrain component sizing, gradability requirements, and selection of gear ratios
  • Cold start emissions reduction and cold/hot weather performance enhancement
  • Electric and hybrid ships, aircraft, and locomotives, with discussion on industrial utilization of other types of vehicles
  • Military applications of HEVs, covering ruggedness issues, dismounted soldier applications, and electromagnetic launchers
  • Fast charging of batteries in electrified vehicles
  • Cybersecurity issues in electrified vehicles

Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Principles and Applications with Practical Perspectives is an essential up-to-date reference on the subject for engineers working in the automotive industry, including at automakers, vehicle OEMs, and component suppliers, as well as students and instructors in upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses related to HEVs and electric propulsion.
