Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of society, global warming, environmental pollution and exhaustion of petroleum, human attention has become increasingly focused on energies. The fossil fuel consumed by the transportation sector accounts for 55% of the world’s total energy consumption and leads to 30.9% of carbon dioxide gas emissions. Thus, reducing this pollution and saving energy are the main challenges of the current and future vehicle industry. Electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (P-HEVs) and fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHVs) are thought to be the best ways to solve these problems. The main power train components for these vehicles (batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen tanks, electric machines and power electronics) have to respond to challenging demands such as having low weight, small volume, high efficiency, high power density, low cost and low electromagnetic interference. Moreover, energy management strategies (EMSs) play a key role in making these vehicles competitive in the wide automotive market thanks to the improvement of their autonomy, reliability and cost. This Special Issue of Energies focuses on the latest scientific and technical research around these topics in both academic and industrial sectors. These topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Innovative architectures of the power trains of EVs, HEVs, P-HEVs or FCHVs;
- Design of the power trains of EVs, HEVs, P-HEVs or FCHVs, from components to systems;
- Energy management strategies for EVs, HEVs, P-HEVs or FCHVs;
- Reliability of the EVs, HEVs, P-HEVs or FCHVs (e.g., reliability analysis, fault-tolerant control, aging experimental tests, modeling, diagnosis, prognosis);
- Real-time simulation, hardware in the loop (HIL);
- Prototyping and ecosystems of EVs, HEVs, P-HEVs or FCHVs.

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.
