Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) play a critical role in the global transition toward low-carbon transportation, as they address pressing challenges related to energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and diversified mobility demands. With the rapid evolution of electrification technologies, key issues such as novel multi-source hybrid powertrain architectures, battery management strategy and life-cycle sustainability, applications in special-purpose vehicles such as mining, agricultural, and off-road systems have become increasingly important to the performance and large-scale adoption of HEVs.
The goal of this Special Issue is to explore recent advances and emerging trends in hybrid electric vehicle technologies from both system-level and application-oriented perspectives. It will cover developments in charging and energy supply infrastructures, life-cycle analysis, advanced energy management and control strategies, and novel hybrid powertrain architectures. Particular attention will also be given to emerging hybrid configurations and their applications in special vehicles, including agricultural, mining, construction, off-road, and other task-specific platforms.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, including vehicle engineering, electrical engineering, energy systems, and sustainability science. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this Special Issue aims to advance the understanding and deployment of hybrid electric vehicles as a key solution for sustainable and resilient 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 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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
