Hybrid Vehicles and Hybrid Electric Vehicles 
New Developments, Energy Management and Emerging Technologies

With the ever-increasing worldwide demand for energy, and the looming crisis in petroleum supplies, energy storage is emerging as an important area of research. Due to ever increasing concerns on energy conservation and environmental protection, the hybrid vehicle (HV) is a widely accepted interim solution for evolving from the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to the clean electrified vehicle. This book discusses new developments, energy management and emerging technologies of hybrid vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.
