Fuel Consumption and Consumption Optimization
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-662-60840-1 (ISBN)
Starting from the customer's fundamental requirements, the characteristics and systems that define the design of the vehicles are presented knowledgeably in a series of articles, each of which can be read and studied on their own.
In this volume, Fuel Consumption and Consumption Optimization, the main focus is placed on the factors for optimizing consumption in the conventional vehicle. Fuel consumption can be optimized by four different factors: the technology of the vehicle, the conditions of its operation, the behavior of the driver and the maintenance and upkeep of the vehicle. These aspects are described in a way that is easily understood for training and practical application.
The Editors Dr. Michael Hilgers is Head of the Department of CAE Computation for Vehicle Functions in Commercial Vehicle Development at Mercedes-Benz Trucks. Dr. Wilfried Achenbach has worked in the automotive industry for over 30 years. He is currently Head of Development at Daimler Trucks North America.
