A2 article

The article (not the Powerpoint slideshow, which has been posted here before but doesn't contain all the data) was published in Sustainable Vehicle Technologies: Driving the Green Agenda (Cambridge: Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2012). JP Howell conducted the research for Tata in partnership with the Low Carbon Vehicle Technology Project and wrote the article, pp. 145-154. But, this article isn't about the development of the A2; rather, it's an investigation of drag reduction of an A2 and a Tata Vista that was intended to inform Tata's further development of EVs. The most interesting part is the comparison of the A2 tested with the same modifications in the fixed-floor MIRA tunnel and the moving-ground S2A tunnel.
