Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to extend an invitation for submissions to a Special Issue on the subject of "Lubrication Challenges in Electric Vehicle Transmissions". Recently, the electric mobility sector has been growing rapidly, driven by environmental sustainability goals for achieving net-zero emissions and reducing greenhouse gases. The performance and durability of mechanical/tribological systems in electric vehicles (EVs) are significantly influenced by the use of lubricants and materials capable of withstanding electrical and thermal stresses. Our aim with this Special Issue is to compile a comprehensive collection of the most recent, cutting-edge developments and innovations in the field of tribology in electric vehicles. We are seeking both review articles and original research that provide theoretical explorations, groundbreaking experimental research, and inventive computational approaches. These contributions will help deepen our understanding of the lubrication mechanisms under a current-carrying friction. We also encourage new oil additives that synergize positively with triboelectrification effects, which offers valuable insights regarding programmable friction control and durable/antiwear tribofilm formation.

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. Lubricants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
