Page ix Preface In the beginning, say 115 years ago, a book on vehicle Current and older systems are included to aid the electrics would have been very small. A book on reader with an understanding of basic principles. vehicle electronics would have been even smaller! To set the whole automobile electrical subject in As we continue our drive into the new millennium, context, the first chapter covers some of the signif- the subject of vehicle electrics is becoming ever icant historical developments and dares yet again to larger. Despite the book likewise growing larger, some speculate on the future … aspects of this topic have inevitably had to be glossed What will be the next major step in automobile over, or left out. However, the book still covers all of electronic systems? I predicted that the ‘auto-PC’ the key subjects and students, as well as general read- and ‘telematics’ would be key factors last time, and ers, will find plenty to read in the new edition. this is still the case. However, as 42 V systems come This third edition has once again been updated on line, there will be more electrical control of and extended by the inclusion of more case studies systems that until recently were mechanically or and technology sections in each chapter.
