Abstract
This chapter contains three main sections: First the dynamics of the longitudinal motion of a road vehicle are analyzed. This part contains a discussion of the main energy-consuming effects occurring in the “vehicle-to-miles” part and some elementary models that describe the longitudinal dynamics and, hence, the drivability of the vehicle.
