The automotive industry is one of the largest and most important industries in the world.  Cars, buses, and other engine-based vehicles abound in every country on the planet, and it is continually evolving, with electric cars, hybrids, self-driving vehicles, and so on. Technologies that were once thought to be decades away are now on our roads right now.  Engineers, technicians, and managers are constantly needed in the industry, and, often, they come from other areas of engineering, such as electrical engineering, process engineering, or chemical engineering.  Introductory books like this one are very useful for engineers who are new to the industry and need a tutorial.  Also valuable as a textbook for students, this introductory volume not only covers the basics of automotive engineering, but also the latest trends, such as self-driving vehicles, hybrids, and electric cars.  Not only useful as an introduction to the science or a textbook, it can also serve as a valuable reference for technicians and engineers alike.  The volume also goes into other subjects, such as maintenance and performance.  Data has always been used in every company irrespective of its domain to improve the operational efficiency and performance of engines.  This work deals with details of various automotive systems with focus on designing various components of these system to suit the working conditions on roads. Whether a textbook for the student, an introduction to the industry for the newly hired engineer, or a reference for the technician or veteran engineer, this volume is the perfect introduction to the science of automotive engineering.
