Vehicle Engines and Powertrains: Performance, Combustion and Emission

Dear Colleagues,

The increasingly stringent regulations in terms of pollutant emissions and CO₂ emission targets are pushing companies in the automotive sector to investigate innovative technological solutions for engines and powertrains, which include powertrain electrification, innovative air-path and fuel-path control, innovative combustion concepts, advanced aftertreatment systems, sensor-based and model-based control of the combustion and emission formation processes, alternative fuels, techniques for the optimization of the powertrain energy fluxes and their integration with the emerging vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems, as well as by means of artificial intelligence.

Taking into account this scenario, this Special Issue aims to encourage both academic and industrial researchers to present their latest findings concerning the previously mentioned aspects, which can lead to a significant contribution towards the achievement of green and sustainable mobility.

The authors should provide a comprehensive and scientifically sound overview of the most recent research and methodological approaches. Both experimental and methodological contributions are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
