The electric vehicle market has been gradually gaining prominence
in the world due to the rise in pollution levels caused by
traditional IC engine-based vehicles. The advantages of electric
vehicles are multi-pronged in terms of cost, energy efficiency, and
environmental impact. The running and maintenance cost are
considerably less than traditional models. The harmful exhaust
emissions are reduced, besides the greenhouse gas emissions, when
the electric vehicle is supplied from a renewable energy source.
However, apart from some Western nations, many developing and
underdeveloped countries have yet to take up this initiative. This
lack of enthusiasm has been primarily attributed to the capital
investment required for charging infrastructure and the slow
transition of energy generation from the fossil fuel to the
renewable energy format. Currently, there are very few charging
stations, and the construction of the same needs to be ramped up to
supplement the growth of electric vehicles. Grid integration issues
also crop up when the electric vehicle is used to either do supply
addition to or draw power from the grid. These problems need to be
fixed at all the levels to enhance the future of energy efficient
transportation. Electric Vehicles and the Future of Energy
Efficient Transportation explores the growth and adoption of
electric vehicles for the purpose of sustainable transportation and
presents a critical analysis in terms of the economics, technology,
and environmental perspectives of electric vehicles. The chapters
cover the benefits and limitations of electric vehicles,
techno-economic feasibility of the technologies being developed,
and the impact this has on society. Specific points of discussion
include electric vehicle architecture, wireless power transfer,
battery management, and renewable resources. This book is of
interest for individuals in the automotive sector and allied
industries, policymakers, practitioners, engineers, technicians,
researchers, academicians, and students looking for updated
information on the technology, economics, policy, and environmental
aspects of electric vehicles.

The British Motor Corporation's 1100 and 1300 model range was
amongst the most successful in the Corporation's history, selling
more than 2.1 million of all types between its introduction in 1962
and its demise in 1974. World-wide, it was sold under eight
different marque names and in two-door saloon, four-door saloon,
two-door estate, and five-door hatchback forms - and very nearly as
a van as well. In Britain, it was the country's best-selling car
between 1962 and 1971, being beaten just once (in 1967) by the Ford
Cortina. BMC 1100 and 1300 looks at the design and development of a
model range that at the time confirmed BMC as a pioneer of new
automotive ideas and had a profound impact on other manufacturers.
It covers not only the full standard model range, but special
conversions, cars built abroad, and owning and running the cars
today.

Each Haynes manual provides specific and detailed instructions for
performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to
a complete overhaul of the machine, in this case the Yamaha YZF-R6,
model years 1999 through 2002. Do-it-yourselfers will find this
service and repair manual more comprehensive than the factory
manual, making it an indispensable part of their tool box. A
typical Haynes manual covers: general information; troubleshooting;
lubrication and routine maintenance; engine top end; engine lower
end; primary drive, clutch and external shift mechanism;
transmission and internal shift mechanism; engine management
system; electrical system; wheels, tires and drivebelt; front
suspension and steering; rear suspension; brakes; body, and color
wiring diagrams. An index makes the manual easy to navigate.

A provocative look at our nation's dependency on the automobile and
how its potential impact on urban design will either make or break
our health, economy, and quality of life. In this thought-provoking
work, author and urban planning expert Chad Frederick scrutinizes
the use of automobiles in cities, investigating its role in
exacerbating urban inequalities and thwarting sustainability of
modern society. Through a comprehensive, thoughtful discussion,
Frederick illustrates how the automobile is fundamentally at odds
with the very nature of cities. He shows how cars impose huge
burdens on our health, equity, environment, local and national
economy, and quality of life. Most of all, he shows how automobile
dependency has put our entire society at risk. The book delves into
the monumental role of automobiles in the development of cities
after the Great Depression, impacting the American identity and
affecting the way we produce and manage urban spaces. Frederick
provides compelling evidence that cities with more diverse modes of
transportation are greener, healthier, more prosperous, and even
more enjoyable places to live than automobile-dependent cities. He
identifies one institution responsible for our inability to improve
our cities: the social sciences, and examines the root cause of our
inability to make progress toward more multi-modal cities. In
conclusion, the author offers a radical solution for moving beyond
the underlying logic that forces us to create automobile-dependent
cities. Shows how automobiles in urban areas harm health, economy,
and society overall Explains why some are opposing the movement
toward more multi-modal cities and why 40 years of research in this
area has not resulted in better cities Explores how automobile
dependency exerts enormous power over our daily lives by shaping
the kind and quality of our social interactions, and by influencing
our civic attitudes and worldviews Illustrates the broad impacts of
automobile use that reach into every aspect of modern life: from
public health and income inequality, to environmental quality and
quality of life

I wrote this book to help you understand a little about the real
world of wheels. It may not have all the answers, but will give you
some insight into asking the right questions. Most of my adult life
has been spent in the automotive field. Starting back in the summer
of 1958, as a kid cleaning the shop, I have done most things in
this field. From body repair to sales to management of a new car
dealership, I have seen quite a bit. There have been many changes
over the years, but in general, things stay the same. The better
educated we all are, the easier it is. Since the invention of the
wheel, there always has been someone around to repair or improve
it. One thing that has been said is don't try to reinvent it. This
book is not an attempt to reinvent the wheel, but to call your
attention to some of the flaws that you might find. Hopefully, this
book will be the first of many, covering topics that will allow the
average person a way to become more aware of the pitfalls that they
may encounter when dealing with their vehicles. The name Broken
Wheel was inspired by a problem that we had. The wheel on the cover
was on a custom pickup truck and looked fine. When it was closely
inspected, a major defect was discovered. Prior to the sale, we
replaced the wheel. If you look on the back cover, you will see a
close-up of the break. Many problems are not obvious. Hopefully,
this book will help you protect yourself. Wayne K. Avery, Sr.
Why has "car society" proven so durable, even in the face of
mounting environmental and economic crises? In this follow-up to
his magisterial Atlantic Automobilism, Gijs Mom traces the global
spread of the automobile in the postwar era and investigates why
adopting more sustainable forms of mobility has proven so
difficult. Drawing on archival research as well as wide-ranging
forays into popular culture, Mom reveals here the roots of the
exuberance, excess, and danger that define modern automotive
culture.
