Preface
The world faces two important challenges nowadays: increased energy demand and serious environmental concerns. Global climate change due to green house gas emissions has brought worries about sea-level increase and severe climate damages that are afflicting people. However, the fact is that the vexations are brought about by the human-beings ourselves. The blind deforestation, largescaled urbanization, and exponentially expanded consumption of fossil-fuel are key contributors to these social and environmental problems. Fortunately, we are more and more aware of these challenges and in the process of developing effective measures to tackle and mitigate these problems. The Kyoto Protocol, Copenhagen Accord, and Cancun Agreements are good proofs. Automobiles as a major contributor for air pollution and greenhouse gases emissions are under deep innovation and brand-new definitions. Meanwhile the global energy shortage also offers new demands on alternative fuel applications to the automobile industry. Under such a background, development of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plugin hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehi
