Are you looking for a complete, engineering-focused guide to modern automotive powertrain systems?
Whether you're an automotive engineer, engineering student, researcher, or technical professional, staying current with today's rapidly evolving powertrain technologies is more challenging than ever. Internal combustion engines continue to push the limits of efficiency, electric propulsion is transforming vehicle performance, hybrid systems are reshaping mobility, and software has become just as critical as mechanical design.
This book brings all of these technologies together in one comprehensive reference.
Spanning 22 professionally structured chapters, it delivers an in-depth exploration of the principles, technologies, and engineering practices behind today's most advanced powertrain systems. Designed for both learning and professional reference, it combines theoretical foundations with practical engineering insight.
Inside this book, you'll explore:
- Internal combustion engine architecture, thermodynamics, combustion, and performance optimization.
- Fuel delivery systems, turbocharging, supercharging, and advanced engine management strategies.
- Manual, automatic, dual-clutch, automated manual, and continuously variable transmission technologies.
- Driveline engineering, differentials, torque vectoring, and all-wheel-drive systems.
- Hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and range-extended powertrain architectures.
- Hydrogen fuel cell systems and the latest developments in alternative propulsion technologies.
- Thermal management, emissions control, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) engineering.
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital twins, and software-defined powertrain development.
- Motorsport engineering innovations and their transition into commercial vehicle production.
- Emerging technologies, including solid-state batteries, 800-volt electrical architectures, next-generation electric drives, and the future of sustainable mobility.
Go Beyond Surface-Level Learning
Unlike books that focus on a single technology or provide only introductory coverage, this guide examines the engineering principles, control strategies, calibration techniques, simulation methods, testing procedures, and regulatory requirements that define real-world powertrain development.
Every topic is presented with clarity, technical depth, and practical relevance, making it equally valuable for classroom study, research, and professional engineering practice.
Who Should Read This Book?
This reference is ideal for automotive engineers, mechanical engineers, powertrain specialists, graduate and undergraduate engineering students, researchers, educators, and technically minded professionals seeking a deeper understanding of modern vehicle propulsion systems.
Built for Learning and Long-Term Reference
Each chapter is carefully organized for both sequential study and quick consultation, allowing you to use the book as a learning resource or an everyday engineering reference. In addition, five comprehensive appendices provide essential unit conversions, engineering abbreviations, emissions and regulatory reference tables, diagnostic resources, and key component specifications for practical use.
Whether you're designing next-generation propulsion systems, preparing for advanced engineering studies, or expanding your expertise in automotive technology, this is the definitive powertrain engineering reference you'll return to again and again.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
