Alternative Powertrains and Extensions to the Conventional Powertrain [electronic resource] / by Michael Hilgers, Wilfried Achenbach. - 1st ed. 2021. - IX, 72 p. 19 illus., 4 illus. in color. online resource. - Commercial Vehicle Technology, 2747-4054 . - Commercial Vehicle Technology, .
Alternative powertrains and extensions to the conventional powertrain -- The electric drive -- Hybrid vehicles -- Other supplements to the conventional drive -- Alternative fuels -- Comprehension questions -- Abbreviations and symbols.
The aim of this work, consisting of 9 individual, self-contained booklets, is to describe commercial vehicle technology in a way that is clear, concise and illustrative. Compact and easy to understand, it provides an overview of the technology that goes into modern commercial vehicles. Starting from the customer's fundamental requirements, the characteristics and systems that define the design of the vehicles are presented knowledgeably in a series of articles, each of which can be read and studied on their own. This volume, "Alternative Powertrains and Supplements to the Conventional Powertrain", introduces alternatives and additions to the conventional powertrain of the commercial vehicle. The wide range of options is presented so as to be clearly understandable for those learning and working with them in a practical environment. Hybrid vehicles, electric powertrains and alternative fuels are discussed. Content Alternative powertrains and extensions to the conventional powertrain.- The electric drive.- Hybrid vehicles.- Other supplements to the conventional drive.- Alternative fuels.- Comprehension questions.- Abbreviations and symbols.
