Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to submit papers to a Special Issue of Energies on “Advances in Vehicle Dynamics and Motion Control for Electric Vehicles.” Recent trends in automotive engineering point out that influence of an electric powertrain, especially in the case of individual on-board and in-wheel motors, on electric vehicle dynamics in terms of stability, handling, agility, and comfort should be carefully considered on various development and designing stages. As compared to conventional vehicles, electric cars have different loading modes, another balance between sprung and unsprung masses, as well as weight distribution. On the other hand, on-board and in-wheel motors can not only be used in traditional vehicle dynamics control systems as ABS or ESC but also can cause emerging new motion control functions through blended operation of various powertrain and chassis actuators (e.g., brake and ride blending). All these factors should be properly considered in studies on vehicle dynamics and motion control system design for electric vehicles.
This Special Issue will focus on new results in the following topics related to electric vehicles, in particular with on-board and electric motors:
- Vehicle dynamics
- Motion control
- Brake control and brake blending
- Vehicle stability control
- Ride comfort and active suspension
- Vehicle state and parameter estimation
- Off-road electric vehicles
- Torque vectoring
- Wheel slip control
- Integrated vehicle dynamics control
- New chassis concepts and systems for electric vehicles (active front and rear steering, active camber, active toe, active stabilisator)

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.
