Alternative Fuel Vehicles gives full coverage of all associated
qualifications and awards in the emerging field of alternative
fuels. It is an essential introduction to the ever-growing demand
for vehicles that operate using non-conventional fuels. This first
book on AFVs endorsed by the IMI begins with an overview of the
subject, ideal for beginners, before outlining what is meant by
alternative fuels, why they are necessary, and why climate change
and associated legislation are key drivers. Details of how
alternative fuels are made, the supply infrastructure, and how
these vehicles work are all included. A chapter on fuel cells
introduces learners to the use of hydrogen, and one on engines and
engine management includes coverage of combustion as an aid to
understanding why changing the type of engine fuel is complex. Some
basic engine technology is included to help readers new to the
subject. Real-life case studies and examples are used to illustrate
different technologies in current use, and to speculate on new
developments. This book is an ideal companion to any unit of study
on alternative fuel, but will also be of interest to working
technicians and keen amateurs.
