This comprehensive book delves into the realm of clean transport and mobility, which are crucial components of the modern world. It explores the internal combustion engines (ICEs) and their alternatives, such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which are experiencing rapid growth. While alternatives to ICEs offer a promising path toward sustainability, they face significant environmental, material availability, and economic challenges that hinder their widespread adoption. Consequently, ICEs are expected to remain the primary power source for transport for decades to come, necessitating continuous improvements to enhance their sustainability.
The book emphasizes the importance of evaluating proposed changes to the existing transport system on a life cycle basis. It includes chapters that shed light on the challenges faced by ICEs, as well as those that discuss novel fuels and fuel/engine interactions, aimed at improving the efficiency of ICEs and reducing exhaust pollutants. This book appeals to a wide audience, including scholars and professionals in academia and industry.
The book's exploration of clean transport and mobility is timely and essential as we strive to address the environmental and sustainability challenges of our time. By understanding the strengths and limitations of ICEs and exploring alternative technologies, we can work towards a more sustainable and efficient transport system that benefits both the present and future generations.
