Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The 21st century has arrived, and alternative cars are proving to be a significant presence on showroom floors and highways throughout the world.
In 1994, Robert Q. Riley accurately forecasted the necessity of alternative automobiles in the very first edition of this important publication, and the second edition of Alternative Cars in the 21st Century: A New Personal Transportation Paradigm offers considerably more information. Intelligent transportation systems and hybrid vehicles are granted elevated emphasis as their usefulness has been clearly proven in current vehicle designs. Alternative fuels are examined in depth, including hydrogen as a fuel and the most recent hot topic, fuel cell technology. The latest developments touting the benefits and challenges of three-wheel cars are presented in a thorough and interesting chapter.
The quickly changing landscape of alternative car technologies created the need for the second edition of Alternative Cars in the 21st Century: A New Personal Transportation Paradigm. This essential publication provides an abundance of critical knowledge for engineering professionals and consumers alike, offering a brighter alternative future through better alternative cars.
