Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Controlling and reducing exhaust emissions represent some of the main challenges currently faced by legislators around the world. Recent studies indicate that special attention should be paid to hybrid and electric vehicles. It is necessary to search for alternatives that will emit fewer emissions while maintaining the benefits of using different motor vehicle types. This Special Issue aims to encourage scientists to look for both local and global solutions. We welcome papers that discuss engine solutions, after-treatment systems, as well as concepts that could contribute to environmental protection. Publication submissions can be in the form of original research articles or comprehensive reviews (e.g., legislative) on topics that are consistent with the aim and scope of this Special Issue.

Suggested Scope and Topics:

This Special Issue seeks contributions that cover a wide spectrum of research related to exhaust emission control and reduction, with a primary emphasis on hybrid and electric vehicles. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Advanced engine technologies for emission reduction;
  • Challenges and research trends pertaining to exhaust emissions;
  • Powertrain and emission testing;
  • The integration of renewable energy sources with hybrid/electric vehicles;
  • The impacts of alternative fuels and propulsion systems on emissions;
  • Energy transfer in alternative vehicles;
  • Energy management and storage 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 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.

As part of the Zero Pollution Action Plan of the Green Deal, the European Commission has set the goal of reducing the number of premature deaths caused by fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. To achieve this, the European Commission aims to introduce stricter limits. In urban areas, road transport is a significant source of PM emissions. Vehicle PM originates from engine exhaust and from tire, brake and road wear, as well as from road dust resuspension. In recent decades, the application of stringent emission limits on vehicle exhaust has led to the adoption of technologies capable of strongly reducing PM emissions at the tailpipe. Further, the progressive electrification of vehicle fleets will lead to near-zero exhaust PM emissions. On the other hand, non-exhaust PM emissions have increased in recent years following the proliferation of sport utility vehicles (SUVs), whose numbers have jumped nearly tenfold globally, and electric vehicles, as these vehicles tend to be heavier than corresponding conventional and older internal combustion engine light-duty vehicles. This shift has resulted in a more modest reduction in PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from the transport sector compared to other pollutants (−49% and −55%, respectively, from 1990 to 2020). This report aims to provide an up-to-date overview of non-exhaust PM characterization, drawing insights from the recent scientific literature to address this critical environmental and public health challenge.
