Hillier's famous text is now available as three brand new volumes. Endorsed by the IMI, Book 1 has been completely revised and updated, yet retains the valued explanations of traditional motor vehicle technology. It includes the new developments in mechanical systems now filtted to today's automobile and embraces electronic systems that are an everyday part of a technician's work.

Completely revised and updated, Hillier's famous text is now available as three separate volumes. Book 3 concentrates on chassis and body electronics. These new books provide in-depth coverage of both traditional and modern vehicle systems and incorporate all of the latest technological changes.

Completely revised and updated, Hillier's famous text is now available as three separate volumes. Book 2 concentrates on Powertrain management systems: Engine management (petrol and diesel) and transmission management (manual and automatic).

Suitable for professional engineers or automotive engineering students working on off-road vehicles, this work provides an introduction to terramechanics, the mechanics of vehicle/terrain interaction. It covers the principles of off-road vehicle and terrain engineering, that include SUVs, tractors and agricultural vehicles and military vehicles.

In this edition of the classic automotive electronics text, the author has revisited and revised all aspects of this rapidly developing technology. Adapted and expanded to meet all the requirements of motor vehicle NVQs at levels 2 and 3, this is the definitive student text.

Third edition of this definitive manual on tuning for performance or economy. Covers all aspects of engine tuning in detail, including filters, carburation, intake manifolds, cylinder heads, exhaust systems, camshafts, valve trains, blocks, cranks, con rods and pistons, etc.

Air pollution, global warming, and the decrease in petroleum resources are stimulating interest in the development of safe, clean, and high-efficiency transportation. This text covers fundamentals, theory, and design of electric, hybrid electric, and fuel cell vehicles. It is suitable for automotive systems engineers, practitioners, and students.

Vehicle fitting units 1 & 2, mainly covers tyres and batteries, but brakes, shock absorbers and clutch changing are covered in detail.

A comprehensive illustrated guide to the body of four wheeled vehicles and their engine components and how these elements work together. Aimed at City and Guild students on repair and servicing of road vehicles courses, level I to III, and BTEC motor vehicle engineering students level I to III. Second revised edition.

The use of large amounts of aluminium in mass-produced cars has been predicted frequently, but has not, as yet, come about. It has been proven that aluminium can be used to replace steel for wheels, body panels, space frames, and bumpers. This book describes the progress made in this field.

Includes basic principles and examples of a vehicle system. This book focuses on the science of diagnostics with overview descriptions of how systems operate, diagnostic case studies, diagrams and flow charts, and self-assessment questions. It is suitable for students studying fault diagnosis and repair, and automotive personnel.

High standards of NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) performance are expected by consumers of all modern cars. This work addresses automotive NVH. It features chapters on the fundamentals of acoustics and detailed coverage of practical engineering solutions for noise control issues.

Gears in one form or another are part of most mechanisms, but they are by no means as simple as they may appear. This book explains simply and comprehensively the underlying theory involved, and in its second part, how to cut gears on a lathe or milling machine.

Deals with the structural mechanics of the mass produced integral passenger car body. This work provides an explanation of load paths in the vehicle body-in-white (BIW), based on engineering first principles. It focuses on the conceptual rather than the quantitative aspect of design.
