Truck Systems Design Handbook, Volume II, offers a collection of nine previously published lectures from the highly acclaimed Buckendale Lecture Series. The acclaimed L. Ray Buckendale Lecture series serve as a significant source of truck engineering knowledge. The series commemorates the work of the 1946 SAE president as a teacher and authority on the theory and practice of gearing, particularly as applied to automotive vehicles.

Featuring some of the most distinguished authorities on truck systems, this convenient reference guide offers state-of-the-art technologies on heavy vehicle road interactions, diesel engine design, all-wheel and four-wheel drive, CAE, braking systems, engine cooling design, and military truck technology.
