Features: This book organically integrates the structure and theory of automobiles, primarily focusing on passenger cars. It systematically introduces the overall structure, basic working principles, and the structure and working principles of various assemblies and components of modern automobiles, highlighting modern electronic control technologies (such as EFI, DLI, ABS, ASR, AT, ETS, EDS, SRS, CCS, SSS, GPS, etc.) as well as new structures, technologies, models, and standards such as variable valve timing and lift electronic control systems (VTEC), next-generation high-pressure common-rail diesel engines, direct-injection gasoline engines, electric vehicles, and gas-powered vehicles. The book is divided into two volumes, comprising three parts and 26 chapters. This is the first volume, which includes General Introduction and Part 1: Automotive Engine Structure and Principles, covering the engine's body components, crank-connecting rod mechanism, intake and exhaust systems, fuel supply system, ignition system, lubrication and cooling system, starting system, and the structure and working principles of new automotive engines. This book can serve as a teaching material for vocational colleges, higher education institutions, and various automotive-related disciplines. It is also suitable for adult education institutions and technical secondary schools in the field of automotive engineering. Additionally, it can be used as a reference for automotive application, maintenance training, and technical secondary schools. The book comes with accompanying multimedia courseware CDs, one for each volume, providing extensive text, color illustrations, animations, and video materials that vividly and vividly demonstrate the structure and working principles of various assemblies and components of modern automobiles. These materials can be directly used for multimedia teaching, greatly facilitating teachers' lesson preparation and delivery, as well as students' self-study and review outside of class.
