The vehicle as a whole, and the situation it is used in, has to be considered when approaching vehicle propulsion. The topic of this chapter is vehicle propulsion, different performance characteristics, and some details concerning their measurement. The first three sections treat the basic equations for vehicle propulsion dynamics and lead to a set of useful models such as driving resistance models. The fourth section complements with driver and road models, so that a complete vehicle simulation is possible, as in the fifth section. The rest of the chapter deals with vehicle characteristics and requirements. The sixth, seventh and eighth sections treat performance measures, fuel consumption and emissions.
