Advances in New Mobility for Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

The International Innovation Forum, organised within the framework of the New Mobility Congress (KNM), aspires to become an annual conference in the Baltic Sea region, covering both traditional and modern engineering techniques as well as technical solutions applied in the fields of new mobility, the transport of the future (including road, air, and rail transport), and innovations aimed at reducing harmful emissions. The aim of the Forum within the KNM is to bring together scientists from around the world to present advancements in vehicle, infrastructure, and energy engineering and to create an environment that fosters the exchange of ideas and information.

This year, the Forum will take place in person from 23 to 25 September 2025 at the International Congress Centre in Katowice, Poland. We hope to create an environment in which participants can establish new collaborations and meet with experts specialising in the fundamentals, applications, and products of the aforementioned fields. The Forum will be complemented by the sixth edition of the New Mobility Congress, which will attract more than 250 partners. The KNM agenda will focus on six main thematic tracks, including clean transport, urban innovation, a sustainable economy, infrastructure and investments, climate policies, and quality of life and health.

Among the key topics of the Innovation Forum are the following: propulsion systems used in inland, air, and maritime transport; infrastructure solutions; energy efficiency; the use of hydrogen technologies; fuel cell performance; smart city solutions; and more.

Scope and Contributions

This Special Issue welcomes a broad range of contributions beyond conference-related submissions to maximise research impact and community engagement. We warmly invite original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and other scholarly contributions that align with our theme of advances in new mobility and electric vehicles. While extended conference papers from the Forum are welcome, we particularly encourage independent research submissions that explore innovative solutions, emerging technologies, and cutting-edge developments in sustainable transportation.
