Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition toward intelligent and sustainable transportation represents a critical pathway to achieving carbon neutrality goals. New energy vehicles (NEVs) and intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) stand at the forefront of this revolution, offering transformative potential to reduce fossil fuel dependence, mitigate urban air pollution, and reshape global energy consumption patterns. However, realizing their full environmental benefits requires overcoming multidimensional challenges spanning technological innovation, infrastructure deployment, and policy system coordination.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, application, and control of all types of NEVs and ICVs.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Vehicle technology;
- Energy management;
- Thermal management;
- Power system design;
- Steer-by-wire chassis design;
- Policy analysis;
- Charging infrastructure.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
