Mechanisms and Machine Science

This volume provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and interdisciplinary exploration of the complex world of electromobility. It goes beyond the basic mechanics of electric vehicles to explore the full spectrum of challenges and innovations shaping a sustainable transportation ecosystem. Topics include vehicle design and engineering, charging infrastructure, smart mobility and connectivity. Carried out within the context of the Network of Experts in Automotive Innovation (REINVA-IPN), the book also explores new trends that drive mechanical design, such as the implications of connected vehicles and autonomous driving on chassis and component design, as well as the structural requirements for emerging technologies like wireless charging. It serves as an essential reference for mechanical engineers, researchers, and industry professionals looking to design and optimize the next generation of eco-friendly, high-performance electric vehicles.
