About this book

Uses up-to-date examples from real vehicles, both private and commercial, but shows that optimum efficiency can be achieved only by treating the vehicle as a system. The book will be of great interest not only to student and recently qualified engineers specialising in Automobile Engineering, but also to general readers who take a keen interest in the design and maintenance of their own vehicles.

About the author

Prior to his current post, Richard was at Brunel University where he established the engine research activity with Nicos Ladommatos. His research interests concern laminar combustion and internal combustion engines, which has often been in close collaboration with companies such as BP, Shell, Ford, and Jaguar Land Rover. Over the last 10 years a particular interest has been the emissions of particulate matter from Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines.
