his newly published book is
coauthored by Mehrdad Ehsani
and Yimin Gao, Texas A&M
University, College Station, and Ali
Emadi, Illinois Institute of Technology,
Chicago. This book appeared in CRC
Press’ Power Electronics and Appli-
cations Series, with Muhammad H.
Rashid, University of West Florida, as
the series editor. This is an expanded,
updated, and corrected second edition
of the best-selling book published by
CRC Press in 2004 [1]. Several new chap-
ters and paragraphs, recent references,
and a case study have been added:
n three new chapters (9, 10, and 16)
on drive-train design methodology
and control principles
n a completely rewritten chapter
(2) on fundamentals of regenera-
tive braking
n corrections and updates of the
material in the first edition
n a case-study appendix that breaks
down the Toyota Prius hybrid
system.

Therefore, the book now has 16
chapters altogether:
1) Environmental Impact and History
of Modern Transportation
2) Fundamentals of Vehicle Propul-
sion and Brake
3) Internal Combustion Engines
4) Electric Vehicles
5) Hybrid Electric Vehicles
6) Electric Propulsion Systems
7) Design Principle of Series (Elec-
trical Coupling) Hybrid Electric
Drive Train
8) Parallel (Mechanically Coupled)
Hybrid Electric Drive Train De-
sign (new chapter)
9) Design and Control Methodology
of Series-Parallel (Torque and
Speed Coupling) Hybrid Drive
Train (new chapter)
10) Design and Control Principles of
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles
11) Mild Hybrid Electric Drive Train
Design
12) Peaking Power Sources and
Energy Storages
13) Fundamentals of Regenerative
Breaking
14) Fuel Cells
15) Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Drive
Train Design
16) Design of Series Hybrid Drive
Train for Off-Road Vehicles (new
chapter)
Appendix: technical overview of
Toyota Prius (new).
Similar to the earlier announced
book on this hot topic [2], [3], the pre-
sented book is well balanced, and the
description of technical material is sim-
ple with physically insightful discus-
sions. Each chapter is supplemented
with a selected list of references. The
MARCH 2010 n IEEE INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS MAGAZINE 75
Book News
authors illustrate key concepts with
simulations and calculation examples.
This new edition of this excellent refer-
ence book will greatly aid engineers,
students, researchers, and other pro-
fessionals who are working in automo-
tive-related industries, as well as those
in government and academia. I believe
that this up-to-date second edition of
the book will certainly be as successful
as the first one.
