The automobile is one of the inventions that has made a decisive contribution to
human mobility, and consequently it has become an inseparable part of modern human
society. However, it is through this widespread use that its negative impacts on the
environment have become so highly visible. Achievements in improving the ecological
characteristics of the automobile are highly impressive: a modern car emits only a
fraction of the amounts of noise and exhaust pollutants produced by its predecessors
30 years ago. The contributions to this book were written by experts, most of whom
have been actively involved in the development of modern automobiles and their
combustion engines for more than 30 years. They have participated in all phases
of the ecological development of the automobile and summarize their experience
and know-how in this book .
