Electric Vehicle Tribology: Challenges and Opportunities for a Sustainable Transportation Future

Electric Vehicle Tribology: Challenges and Opportunities for a Sustainable Transportation Future provides practical, comprehensive guidance on a new and increasingly important area of tribology. Building skills from fundamentals to solution design, this book demonstrates the unique tribological techniques essential to the efficient electrification of transport systems. Led by Professors with a combined three decades in industry and academia, and collecting insights from experts around the world, this book begins with the essential knowledge regarding both Electric Vehicles and tribology. After outlining the unique tribological needs of EVs, the book then breaks down the components and hardware required. It provides detailed protocols and methods for the testing and improvement of lubricants and materials, as well as a dedicated section on modern lubrication specific to EVs. Throughout, it considers the critical question of sustainable tribology, and the long-term sustainable options for lubrication and materials for electric vehicles. Provides a thorough grounding in this multidisciplinary topic, building from EV and tribology basics to complex practical usesOutlines case studies and testing protocols for engineers, students, and researchersEvaluates the latest opportunities in green EV tribology for a sustainable transport future INDICE: Introduction to Electric Vehicle TribologyPart I: Sustainability of Electric Vehicles1.
