Automotive technology explained in a compact way. How do we address the growing possibilities of electronics and new materials? This book lays the foundation for creative development based on solid fundamentals.

Overview of contents:

• Overview of the structure and functioning of all main components
• Detailed treatment of the drive and chassis assemblies
• Driving resistance, engine and drive characteristic curves, as well as performance and consumption calculations
• Traction-related driving limits and general driving dynamics

With its systematic and, where permissible, simplified presentation of the necessary relationships, this book is excellent for students as an introduction to the entire field. However, through scientific deepening in separate subchapters, the book can also support the development of theses and later professional life in many cases.
