Electric Vehicle Tribology 1st Edition

Electric Vehicle Tribology, 1st Edition by Leonardo Israel Farfan Cabrera and Ali Erdemir

Powerful, practical, and forward-looking, this definitive resource explores the tribological challenges and solutions that make modern electric vehicles more efficient, durable, and quiet. Written for engineers, researchers, OEM designers, and advanced students, the book delivers a clear synthesis of friction, wear, lubrication, coatings, and contact mechanics specifically applied to EV components—from electric motors and transmissions to bearings, gears, and braking systems.

You’ll find rigorous yet accessible explanations of how material selection, surface engineering, and advanced lubricants influence energy losses and component lifetime. The authors combine theoretical foundations with applied insights, highlighting diagnostic methods, testing protocols, and design strategies that reduce frictional losses and improve reliability in real-world operating conditions. Coverage addresses thermal management, high-speed contacts, micro- and nano-scale surface interactions, and the unique lubrication regimes of electric drivetrains and regenerative braking systems.

Practical case studies and contemporary research trends make this edition especially valuable for professionals working across global EV markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. Whether you’re optimizing drivetrain efficiency for fleet electrification, developing quieter urban mobility solutions, or advancing materials for next-generation motors, this book equips you with the tools to translate tribological science into measurable performance gains.

Concise, authoritative, and oriented toward innovation, Electric Vehicle Tribology is an essential reference for anyone designing or maintaining the mechanical heart of electric mobility. Secure your copy today to stay ahead in the evolving world of EV engineering.
