Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vehicles Challenges offers a critical platform for exploring the latest challenges and groundbreaking innovations in the field of vehicles and the automotive industry. The journal delves into cutting-edge topics such as autonomous driving, electrification, electric vehicles, and intelligent transportation systems. It also addresses pressing issues related to vehicle safety, cybersecurity, and environmental sustainability and the impact of legislative changes on vehicle development and manufacturing.
In addition to traditional powertrains, Vehicles Challenges investigates the potential of alternative fuels, including hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic fuels. By examining these emerging technologies, including advancements in electric vehicles, the journal provides new perspectives and solutions for the future of transportation. The aim is to foster a deeper understanding of the complex issues facing both vehicles and the automotive industry and to stimulate innovative solutions.
Vehicles Challenges covers a wide range of topics that contribute to the advancement of the vehicle sector. By promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers, the journal seeks to drive innovation and address the multifaceted issues impacting vehicles and transportation systems today.
