Aerodynamic Design of cars is crucial as it directly affects the fuel economy & stability in motion .Therefore it is necessary to have a clear understanding of external aerodynamics of road vehicles which are nearer to bluff bodies .Also wind resistance is amongst the three significant factors (Efficiency of engine, weight & aerodynamic drag ), which influence the fuel efficiency .Therefore needs a proper focus in the early stage of design .Authors have tried to provide insight into Design Process.

Materials, Design and Manufacturing for Lightweight Vehicles
Research into the manufacture of lightweight automobiles is driven by the need to reduce fuel consumption to preserve dwindling hydrocarbon resources without compromising other attributes such as safety, performance, recyclability and cost. Materials, design and manufacturing for lightweight vehicles will make it easier for engineers to not only learn about the materials being considered for lightweight automobiles, but also to compare their characteristics and properties. <p/>Part one discusses materials for lightweight automotive structures with chapters on advanced steels for lightweight automotive structures, aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys for lightweight powertrains and automotive structures, thermoplastics and thermoplastic matrix composites and thermoset matrix composites for lightweight automotive structures. Part two reviews manufacturing and design of lightweight automotive structures covering topics such as manufacturing processes for light alloys, joining for lightweight vehicles, recycling and lifecycle issues and crashworthiness design for lightweight vehicles. <p/>With its distinguished editor and renowned team of contributors, Materials, design and manufacturing for lightweight vehicles is a standard reference for practicing engineers involved in the design and material selection for motor vehicle bodies and components as well as material scientists, environmental scientists, policy makers, car companies and automotive component manufacturers.
