Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the transportation sector is experiencing significant, rapid changes as it evolves toward a scenario of zero or ultra-low emission vehicles. Battery electric and hybrid electric vehicles represent a significant chunk of the market today. Additionally, fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen technologies are emerging as a promising solution and attracting much attention in academic as well as industry research. Future mobility can also benefit from the well-consolidated knowledge on internal combustion engines that run with low exhaust emissions using e-fuels or hydrogen. Advancements in e-propulsion will help to fulfill future requirements for sustainable transportation. The aim of this Special Issue on the topic of “Towards E-Propulsion: Simulations, Control and Experiments on Battery and Fuel Cell Powered Systems” is to collect novel advances in e-propulsion systems to provide an up-to-date view of the evolving transportation sector.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Battery standards, safety, and manufacturing;
- Battery systems design;
- Battery fast charging and degradation;
- Fuel cells;
- Hydrogen storage systems;
- Hydrogen distribution systems;
- E-fuel production and applications;
- Internal combustion engines conversion;
- Hybrid e-fuel-powered systems.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
