Advanced Engine Technologies and Innovative Vehicle Driving Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be focused on the newest technologies developed for improved combustion as well as for emissions mitigation, namely on advanced combustion engine technologies based on application of alternative fuels and on innovative vehicle driving systems. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to offer a wide area for publishing scientific research results concerning:

- Research and development of piston combustion engines with application of bio-fuels;

- Innovative driving systems of vehicles based on alternative drives, especially hydrogen drives;

- Development of advanced systems determined for the reduction of the engine gaseous emissions;

- Simulation approaches to the above-mentioned issues in order to investigate and to optimize the engine combustion processes and operation of the alternative drives;

- Environmental aspects of the alternative drives compared to the combustion engine drives.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
