Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to address the latest advancements and research in the field of vehicle engines, focusing on the performance, combustion processes and emission control in vehicle engines. This issue welcomes contributions that explore innovative approaches, both theoretical and practical, to enhance engine efficiency, reduce emissions and improve overall engine performance.
Internal combustion engines remain the mainstream power source for vehicles, especially in certain specific usage scenarios. More and more experts and scholars believe that a coexistence of multiple power sources will be a reasonable form for future transportation systems. Therefore, the goal of this Special Issue is to further enhance the performance of vehicle internal combustion engines, reduce their energy consumption and emissions, and contribute to sustainable energy and a green environment. With the rapid development of internal combustion engine technology, new combustion modes and a variety of alternative fuels have become the main focus of research. We hope to deeply explore the potential of each technology. Additionally, after-treatment systems have become indispensable parts of internal combustion engines. Identifying appropriate optimization and control methods is critical for emission performance. Hybrid engines, as a multi-power source system, have different requirements from traditional ICEs. Targeted design and optimization methods will significantly improve their performance. We encourage submissions that delve into advanced combustion techniques, emission reduction strategies and the integration of new technologies in engine design and operation.
The Special Issue covers a range of topics, including, but not limited to:
- Advanced combustion modes;
- Hybrid vehicle engines;
- Emission control technologies and strategies;
- After-treatment system control;
- Zero-carbon fuel engines;
- Innovations in engine designs;
- Fault monitoring and diagnosis;
- Calculation of the carbon footprint of ICEs;
- Energy saving technology of automotive power.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and advancing the field of vehicle engine technology through this Special Issue.
