Hybrid Vehicles and the Future of Personal Transportation

by Allen Fuhs

Hybrid Vehicles and the Future of Personal Transportation is not a conversion guide but is an interesting read filled with lots of practical nuts and bolts calculations that will appeal to the armchair engineer who enjoys interpreting numbers and juggling costs, pay offs, and alternatives in range, fuel consumption and weights.

In the book Dr. Fuhs has covered the four basic areas of power electronics, motor/generators, electrochemistry, and control.

It covers the electrical and mechanical aspects of the hybrid to illustrate the important tradeoffs of each. Many of his explanations start with basic physics.

It covers the commercial aspects of hybrids (vehicle size, options, weight, etc.) and explains the difference between various vehicle rating systems (of value to you if you are looking to buy an already made electric car).

Hybrid Vehicles and the Future of Personal Transportation also discusses the merits of these vehicles and their role in solving the world’s energy problems.
