CRC Press (Boca Raton, FL, 2010) (eng) English9781439817278Ground vehicle engineering seriesUnknownMOTOR VEHICLES-POWER TRAINS; UnknownThis book presents a comprehensive analytical treatment of driveline research, design, and tests based on energyefficiency, vehicle dynamics, and operational properties requirements." "Structured to be useful to engineers of all levels of experience, university professors and graduate students, the book is based on the R & D projects conducted by the authors. It explores intriguing engineering dilemmas such as how to achieve higher energy and fuel efficiency by driving either all the wheels or not all the wheels, solve oversteering issues by managing wheel power distribution, and many other technical problems
