About the Book

The CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol revolutionized communication between electronic systems in vehicles, especially in the high-performance world of motorsport. This book provides a comprehensive approach to CAN Bus, from its fundamentals to advanced applications across various racing categories.

Initially developed by Bosch in the 1980s, CAN Bus has become the communication standard in modern vehicles due to its robustness, reliability, and ability to operate in harsh environments. In motorsport, where every millisecond counts and conditions are extreme, CAN Bus proves its true value.

This book is intended for engineers, technicians, and mechanics who work or aspire to work with race vehicles. The content is structured to offer progressive understanding, from basic concepts to advanced implementations, always with a practical motorsport focus.

What Readers Say

Trusted by Engineers Worldwide

I think Henrique Cappello’s book titled “CAN Bus for Automotive Engineering and Motorsport Applications” is perfect to understand how CAN Bus works in a DIL Simulator. He discusses the basics of CAN but goes into detail on how it is used to improve overall vehicle performance in F1, Formula E, Le Mans, etc. Quite simply put, this is one of the best books worth the money, and I couldn't recommend it enough.
