Advanced Engine and Vehicle Control Energy Management and Combustion Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Among the most important challenges of modern society is the obligation to offer efficient and environmentally-friendly mobility in such a way that the means of industrial and passenger transport are as sustainable as possible.

It is difficult to achieve such an ambitious challenge without the contribution of technological developments to the improvement and/or replacement of the propulsion systems of current land vehicles, for light-duty passenger cars and for passenger and industrial heavy-duty vehicles.

The aim of this Special Issue is to offer the engineering and scientific community a compendium of the most innovative works related to the different new technologies to achieve this goal: from processes of fuel injection and its less polluting combustion, through the recovery of residual energies from engines and/or vehicles and its transformation into clean and reusable energy, to the possibility of developing and optimizing the operation of hybrid vehicles.

We also believe that this Special Issue would not be complete if the research lines dedicated to the technical–economic assessment of the different technologies through the determination of energy and/or exergy balances were not included within the content of this issue.

Taking into account these circumstances, I take this opportunity to invite you to participate with your contribution in this Special Issue offered by Energies.

Prof. Dr. Octavio Armas
Guest Editor

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-blind 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.
