Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern transport is one of the key sectors that influence worldwide energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. With ongoing climate change, rising energy prices, and tightening legal regulations, especially in the European Union and developed countries, more and more emphasis is being placed on energy efficiency and sustainable development in transport. Energy-saving solutions are becoming not only a technological necessity but also a strategic element in the fight against the climate and energy crisis. In response to growing challenges related to environmental protection, limited fossil fuel resources, and the need to improve energy efficiency, the transport industry is actively implementing modern technologies that save energy. Electric vehicles, hybrid drives, sustainable fuels, lightweight construction materials, energy recovery systems, modern lithium-ion batteries, and advanced energy management systems are becoming the standard in the automotive, rail, aviation, and marine industries. Their use allows for a significant reduction in fossil fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and operating costs. However, with the introduction of modern technological solutions, new challenges also arise in the field of maintenance and technical diagnostics. The early detection of irregularities and prevention of failures directly affect energy efficiency by maintaining the optimal operating conditions of vehicles. In this context, vibroacoustic diagnostics play an important role in ensuring the reliability and energy-efficient operation of modern means of transport.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest scientific achievements related to methods for reducing energy consumption at local and global scales, as well as to present a scientific analysis of issues related to this topic. Working to protect the climate and save energy resources is the responsibility of the scientific community. Therefore, I encourage you, dear colleagues, to work together and present your achievements.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Energy efficiency in transportation;
- Electric and hybrid vehicles;
- Sustainable public transport;
- Energy recuperation in drive systems;
- Lightweight construction materials in the automotive and aviation industries;
- Vibroacoustic diagnostics of transport systems;
- Energy management in transport systems (EMS);
- Alternative fuels (hydrogen, biofuels, LNG);
- Intelligent control and energy optimization systems;
- The reduction of CO₂ emissions in land, maritime, and air transport.
