Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to sustainable transportation and energy systems is a cornerstone of modern societal progress. This Special Issue focuses on fostering interdisciplinary research and innovation in various modes of transportation—road, maritime, air, and rail—with the goal of reducing environmental impact while increasing efficiency and reliability.
Sustainable transportation systems are undergoing a profound transformation, with the rapid integration of advanced energy technologies, novel propulsion systems, and digital strategies. These developments include advances in electric and hybrid propulsion, alternative fuels, energy storage solutions, and intelligent control systems. At the same time, the demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies requires novel approaches to system design, diagnostics, and lifecycle optimization.
This Special Issue invites contributions that address the latest theoretical, experimental, and numerical advances in sustainable energy and transportation systems. It aims to bring together experts from different fields to promote the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable propulsion technologies for road, maritime, air, and rail transport.
- Energy-efficient and low-emission systems for transportation.
- Integration of renewable energy sources into transportation infrastructure.
- Alternative fuels and energy storage for vehicles, aircraft, and vessels.
- Hybrid and electric propulsion systems, including hydrogen and fuel cells.
- Smart energy systems for transportation, including AI-driven optimizations.
- Intelligenttransport systems, information and communication technologies, smart
- Digital twins, monitoring and control systems, predictive maintenance, and diagnostics for sustainable transport.
- Lifecycle assessment and sustainability metrics for transportation systems.
- Thermodynamic and exergy analyses of energy systems in transportation.
- Energy economics and policy for sustainable transportation systems.
We welcome submissions that emphasize experimental rigor, numerical accuracy, and theoretical innovation. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, engineers, and policymakers to advance sustainable transportation and energy systems and contribute to a cleaner and more energy-efficient future.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
