Fundamentals, Selecti... - Automotive Transmissions:

: It covers the layout and design of specific high-level components such as gearshifting mechanisms , retarders , and moving-off elements .

: The book provides a full account of continuously variable transmissions (CVT) and hybrid drives, which are critical for modern fuel-efficiency standards. Automotive Transmissions: Fundamentals, Selecti...

An interesting feature highlighted in is the shift from purely mechanical systems to information networking , where a significant amount of transmission functionality is now realized through software and electronic integration. This allows for "superordinate functions"—capabilities that a transmission system could never achieve through mechanics alone—by networking it with other vehicle components. : It covers the layout and design of

: It examines the complex relationship between the environment, traffic, and the vehicle-transmission system to address economy and ease of use. Automotive Transmissions: Fundamentals, Selecti...
