Features: This book is compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "Teaching Plan for Automotive Majors" issued by the Training and Employment Department of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, aiming to cultivate applied talents for frontline work. With vehicle performance as the main thread, it revolves around the "Technical Conditions for the Operation of Motor Vehicles" (GB7258—1997) and the "Comprehensive Performance Requirements and Test Methods for Operating Vehicles" (GB18565—2001). It strives to closely connect with practical applications and keep pace with the development direction of vehicle testing technology, organically integrating vehicle performance with the basic theories, testing equipment, testing methods, and analysis of test results. This forms a new teaching content system. It not only solves the problem of excessive courses and redundant related content, wasting a lot of study time, but also achieves systematic knowledge while combining theory and practice, thereby enhancing students' comprehensive knowledge application and problem-solving skills. The book is divided into seven chapters, primarily focusing on vehicle performance testing without disassembly, introducing aspects such as vehicle power performance, fuel economy, braking performance, handling stability, environmental performance, lighting and signaling device performance, other electrical equipment performance, and overall vehicle equipment performance. It can serve as a textbook for automotive majors and is also suitable for self-study by working professionals.
