A place of absolute significance during Italy's golden age of hillclimbing has to go to the Bologna-Raticosa. As well as the pioneering first event way back in 1926, the hillclimb was at its peak from 1950 until 1969. Its winners included Bracco, Cabianca, Palmieri, Castellotti, Govoni, Herrmann, Moioli or Noris, Ortner and Venturi. And the cars they drove included Ferraris, OSCAs, Maseratis and Abarths. So along its more than 43 km route - it was reduced to not much more than 32 km from 1962 - raced some of the greatest drivers of the period. Then, after a long silence, the Bologna made its comeback in 2001, first as an invitation race and then as a round in the Italian Vintage Car Speed Championship. The man who tells the story of this great classic is Carlo Dolcini, author of a number of books on the Mille Miglia, who covers again this historic event, and Francesco Amante, the tireless organiser and promoter of the most recent Bologna events. So for the first time, the entire story of the Bologna-Raticosa is told in a book that boasts a wealth of historic and modern illustrations as well as the complete results of the hillclimb.

Full-time four-wheel drive transformed road cars in the nineteen-eighties, adding speed, excitement and safety and the Ferguson Formula was at the heart of that revolution. Though the Audi quattro made the world sit up and take notice of full-time four-wheel drive, its technology was not available to any other maker and indeed Audi came to adopt Ferguson technology in their next generation of quattro models. Full-time four-wheel drive was the dream of racing driver Fred Dixon, to make cars safer on the road. Harry Ferguson, of tractor-making fame, backed the idea and, under the control of Le Mans winner Tony Rolt the talented engineering team built some astonishing cars, sometimes behind the scenes and in secrecy. Traction for Sale is the story of two companies; Harry Ferguson Research, which did all the backbreaking development work and FF Developments, who succeeded in delivering the technology to the world's car makers. In telling the story of the Ferguson Formula, the book brings life some of the most remarkable cars of the '60s, '70s and '80s, from the Jensen FF, the first car in the world with full-time, automatic four-wheel drive, through the development vehicles like the Ford Zephyr V6 and Ford Mustang 4x4, the Capri 4x4 and the British Army's top-secret Opel Senators, to competition cars like the astonishing Lotus 56 turbine Indy and F1 cars, rally cars like the Ford RS200, MG Metro 6R4 and Lancia Delta Integrale and on to production cars like the legendary Sierra XR4x4 and Escort Cosworth Turbo and the original Volvo XC90. This book is indispensable reading for all Ford and Jensen enthusiasts, students of the British motor industry and anyone interested in 80s-era 4x4 road and rally cars.

The increase in air pollution and vehicular emissions has led to the development of the renewable energy-based generation and electrification of transportation. Further, the electrification shift faces an enormous challenge due to limited driving range, long charging time, and high initial cost of deployment. Firstly, there has been a discussion on renewable energy such as how wind power and solar power can be generated by wind turbines and photovoltaics, respectively, while these are intermittent in nature. The combination of these renewable energy resources with available power generation system will make electric vehicle (EV) charging sustainable and viable after the payback period. Recently, there has also been a significant discussion focused on various EV charging types and the level of power for charging to minimize the charging time. By focusing on both sustainable and renewable energy, as well as charging infrastructures and technologies, the future for EV can be explored. Developing Charging Infrastructure and Technologies for Electric Vehicles reviews and discusses the state of the art in electric vehicle charging technologies, their applications, economic, environmental, and social impact, and integration with renewable energy. This book captures the state of the art in electric vehicle charging infrastructure deployment, their applications, architectures, and relevant technologies. In addition, this book identifies potential research directions and technologies that facilitate insights on EV charging in various charging places such as smart home charging, parking EV charging, and charging stations. This book will be essential for power system architects, mechanics, electrical engineers, practitioners, developers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the problems and solutions to the state-of-the-art status of electric vehicles.
