Review: The first generation of hybrid cars is now available to the general public. Hybrid buses and trolleybuses have already entered regular service. In this book, the authors review recent progress in the development of a range of hybrid vehicles, from small cars to buses and light rail vehicles, and describe the results of field trials and operational experience. The volume is aimed to interest engineering and technical staff working in the road and rail vehicle industries, final year undergraduates and postgraduates studying mechanical and automotive engineering, transport planning personnel, and technically literate readers who wish to find out more about this subject.
