Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, energy crises and environmental pollution have presented challenges in the transportation sector. Currently, vehicles and ships powered by engines, including traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs), gas–electric hybrid, natural gas, hybrid electric, battery electric, hydrogen ICEs, and ammonia ICEs, dominate.
Hence, improving thermal efficiency or minimising emissions of ICE is of great important in academia and industry. This approach involves optimising engine performance through advanced combustion technologies, such as improving fuel spray characteristics, optimising spark timing, lean-burn, increasing the compression ratio, turbocharging, direct fuel injection, variable valve timing/lift, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), advanced after-treatment technology, optimising combustion chamber design, alternative fuels, engine downsizing, reducing friction, etc.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome for this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
