This book is based on the study and absorption of up-to-date engine research and development experience in Europe and North America. In combination with the author’s practical experience in his company’s (‘FAW’, China) independent development of automotive diesel engine series, the book provides an all-round introduction and elaboration of the development situation and application potential of automotive engine energy saving and emission reduction as well as comprehensive performance optimization. The book makes detailed analysis and discusses the core content reflecting up-to-date technological development of the automotive engine, i.e. the combustion system, intake/exhaust system, fuel injection system, cooling system, exhaust post-treatment, electronic control technology, engine oil technology, engine structure design as well as engine and chassis matching technologies, etc. This is a comprehensive reference in a period of very intense IC Engine R&D activity and with the backdrop of tremendous
progress with the advanced technologies. The new regulations in place are likely to spur even more intense
efforts, and practicing engineers will benefit from an up-to-date reference which draws on examples from throughout the world.
