This guide lists relevant sources of information on alternative fuel vehicles
and includes electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and personal transportation
vehicles, as well as the technology of fuel economy and alternative fuels.
It also includes advanced autoignition and lean-burn combustion processes
for improving engine fuel economy.
In order to meet the challenge of reducing consumption and lowering emissions
using better mixture preparation and combustion control, the chemistry of combustion,
especially the autoignition processes at moderate cylinder pressure, must be
better understood. Ideally, a lean-burn process that eliminates the throttle
plate and uses alternative fuels could be applied to hybrids to boost highway
fuel mileage. Future hybrids may combine a combustion engine with electric motors
and batteries that, in full-blown form, can let a car run on battery power alone
at low speeds or allow the engine to make use of a wide range of fuels such as
kerosene, diesel, alcohol, or soy bean oil.
A related title in the Science Tracer Bullet series is TB 92-3, Electric Vehicles.
Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this compilation is designed--as
the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."
