"New Generation of Electric Vehicles" ed. by Zoran Stević

Goal of this book is to bring closer to the readers new drive technologies that are intended to environment and nature protection. The book presents modern technique achievements and technologies applied in the implementation of electric vehicles. Special attention was paid to energy efficiency of EV's. Also today's trends, mathematical models and computer design elements of future cars are presented.

Important factor in political decision-making is a public opinion as well. It is very important to raise global ecological awareness and wider public education regarding ecology.
