Summary The aim of this work, consisting of 9 individual, self-contained booklets, is to describe commercial vehicle technology in a way that is clear, concise and illustrative. Compact and easy to understand, it provides an overview of the technology that goes into modern commercial vehicles. 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. This volume, "Alternative Powertrains and Supplements to the Conventional Powertrain", introduces alternatives and additions to the conventional powertrain of the commercial vehicle. The wide range of options is presented so as to be clearly understandable for those learning and working with them in a practical environment. Electric vehicles and hybrid systems, fuel cell powertrains and alternative fuels are discussed. Content Alternative powertrains and extensions to the conventional powertrain.- The electric drive.- Hybrid vehicles.- Other supplements to the conventional drive.- Hydrogen. - Alternative fuels.- Comprehension questions.- Abbreviations and symbols. The target groups Participants in master classes and those studying individual aspects of commercial vehicle technology Professors and lecturers instructing in the field of commercial vehicle technology Consultants and experts who need background knowledge and technical expertise regarding commercial vehicle technology Personnel working in the commercial vehicle technology or supply industry who are assigned to a new work area Cost planners and logistics companies The Author Dr. Michael Hilgers is currently director of the testing center at BFDA and Director for entire vehicle testing for the Mercedes-Benz Business Unit in BFDA. BFDA is a joint venture in China between Daimler Truck and Foton. Before that he was head of a CAE department in Commercial Vehicle Development at Mercedes-Benz Trucks. Before that he headed a department for vehicle Mechatronics. .
