Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Principles and Applications with Practical Perspectives, 3rd Edition delivers a structured textbook introducing electrified transportation systems to upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and course instructors. Authors Chris Mi and M. Abul Masrur examine foundational engineering principles across hybrid-electric, hybrid-hydraulic, plug-in hybrid, fuel-cell, and off-road vehicular systems.

The text structures its presentation around the physical and electrical mechanisms that govern modern propulsion. This revised edition incorporates recent engineering developments, featuring expanded analytical coverage of planetary gears, synchronous reluctance motors, fast-charging battery methods, and vehicle cybersecurity across electrified platforms.

To connect academic concepts with active manufacturing standards, the authors incorporate empirical data and design specifications from commercial platforms including the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic, Ford Escape, and two-mode hybrid vehicles. This practical orientation makes the text an effective resource for dedicated university courses in vehicle electrification and electric propulsion design.
