Hybrid Electric Vehicles for Sustainable Transport: Standardization, Challenges & Future Prospects

This book defines the current status of the hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) manufacturing, testing and scenario of global policies in promoting the use of HEV’s. This monograph compiles the state of the art of Plug in hybrid, smart hybrid and relevance of engine design in HEV’s performance and their comparison with conventional IC engines. Additionally, Overview of Global Regulations & Standards for HEV Manufacturing and standards for improving the performance of HEV’s in future also has been discussed. The book will provide a single platform for readers—particularly researchers, automotive engineers, policymakers, and students—will benefit from a comprehensive understanding of the current status and future direction of hybrid vehicle technology and regulation.
