Despite the ongoing effects of climate change, large swaths of transport vehicles are still being powered with fossil fuels, generating enormous amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Changing our transport technology is crucial to ensure a transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy, with green electricity acting as the major transmission medium. With the development of innovative storage and propulsion, combined with real-time energy management, significant changes are feasible in the ship, automotive, and aeronautics sectors.

This book provides a thorough look at the current trend of electrification of transportation systems on land and at sea.


           The first chapters cover electric land transport, its related energy storage, and regulatory issues. Ensuing chapters look at electric ships, their challenges and charging solutions, and the relevant regulations. The technologies, challenges, and possibilities associated with greenhouse gas emission reduction, by shifting from conventional to zero-emission electrical transportation, are examined in detail, with case studies demonstrating real world solutions.


           This is a rich resource for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, designers, operators, manufacturers, and engineers, interested in the latest electrification trends in land and sea.
