Review: These are the proceedings of the conference held in Brighton in November 2002. The twenty papers considered the innovation process in vehicle design and covered a large range of topics. These included trends in propulsion technology; power train development methods; hybrid vehicle technologies; choice of components; vehicle design and visualisation; and vehicle systems technologies. The papers cover much of the life cycle of the modern vehicle; the vehicle is examined from concept design and visualization, to the constraints of a real-life vehicle design.
