This was required text for a hybrid/fuel cell class I recently took at a local community college's alternative fuel technology program. For the most part it clearly explained the systems, components, hardware and software that are integrated in hybrid/electric and fuel cell vehicles. The only drawback to this book is that the technology is advancing very rapidly so this book is obsolete in some chapters, I suspect that future editions will be significantly updated. It does cover the basics very well and provides a strong starting point for students interested in alternative fuel technology.

I am impressed with this book. It walks you through the basics of the technology and market.
I felt a little like being at school when doing the tests at the end of each chapter.....but it does make you re-read the part you didnt really understand.

Most probably the best textbook on hybrid, electric and fuel-cell vehicles currently available.

Excellent service, excellent book.

Should I review it in retrospect with Playboy,9/11, Stockmarket cryogenic manual or Structures of everyday life by Fernard Braudel ? Not sure.

Have I missed some ? Technology for post human planet arrived. Asking what for, when under-privileged Wall street's employees of Goldman and Sachs among others ,still manufacture the global growth by adding zeroes to our nothing ? In year 430 BC Aristophanes put his protagonist of Peace to ride -a golden dung bug- for peace, and to fetch it. I am not sure of the tommorow world and its circumstantial applications, but the cat is out of a bag. Very well written from my perspective as person who is still able to mend punctured pushbike tube on his own. ..Highways are full of cars going nowhere so far...
