Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As transportation systems evolve toward sustainability and higher efficiency, electric machines and drives are becoming central to these advances. This special issue focuses on the latest methods in design optimization and control strategies that improve the performance and reliability of electric machines and drives used in transportation applications. By blending innovative optimization techniques with advanced control methods, researchers are enabling more energy-efficient, compact, and robust electric propulsion systems. These improvements are crucial for electric vehicles, trains, and other transport technologies aiming to reduce environmental impact while delivering superior performance. This collection invites contributions that cover new modeling approaches, real-time control algorithms, multi-objective optimization, and experimental validations, providing practical solutions to current engineering challenges. Bringing together mechanical design, electrical engineering, and control theory, this special issue highlights how integrated approaches can accelerate the development of next-generation electric transportation 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. Actuators 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.
