This book presents the papers from the Innovations in Fuel Economy and Sustainable Road Transport conference, held in Pune, India, 8-9 November, 2011. Papers examine advances in powertrain, alternative fuels, lightweight vehicles, electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. An international assembly of senior industry representatives provide insight into the latest research and technological advances in low carbon technology sustainability for road transport, helping towards achieving stringent emissions standards and continual improvements in fuel economy efficiency, all in an expanding Indian market. These technical papers from industry and academia will discuss the latest developments and research of leading organisations.

Key features:

- discusses maximising powertrain performance for a low carbon agenda
- provides readers with an understanding of the latest developments in alternative fuels
- examines the future landscape for the implementation and development of electric vehicles
- discusses recent innovations in hybrid vehicle technology
- explores how to achieve lightweight vehicles for lower emissions
