The aim of the book is to be a reference book in automotive technology,
as far as automotive chassis (i.e. everything that is inside a vehicle
except the engine and the body) is concerned. The book is a result of a
decade of work heavily sponsored by the FIAT group (who supplied
material, together with other automotive companies, and sponsored the
work). The first volume deals with the design of automotive components
and the second volume treats the various aspects of the design of a
vehicle as a system.
