Description
Autotech '99, the Automotive Industry event, brings together manufacturers, researchers, designers, users, industry groups, and academics to create a forum for the exchange of information and innovation. It is unique in offering information from industry and academics on the latest cutting edge advances in research, and major technological breakthrough in the automotive world. This text addresses recent developments in this vital area of automotive technology. Continued legislation and environmental pressures mean that research and innovation are needed to keep the companies at the cutting edge. Contributors from industry and academic circles from around the world are featured in this volume. Key issues and areas are: emissions and particulate control; engine fuelling and control; direct injection systems; fuel economy; measurements and modelling; transmissions; hybrid powertrains. This book should be of interest to automotive engineers, researchers, and product developers and to those involved in fuel and lubricant technology, legislators and regulatory bodies.
