Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the advances in lithium-ion battery technology make a large penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) possible, with ranges reaching up to 750 km in the worldwide fleets. Beyond road vehicles, the transportation electrification also concerns those on rail, sea, and air. The great progress in the transportation electrification field is built around this key component: one can distinguish the electric machine which is operated as a motor in acceleration driving cycles and as a generator in the regenerative breaking cycle. This Special Issue is dedicated to all topics related to electric machine drives applied to transportation electrification systems, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Design, sizing, and optimization of AC electric machines;
- Electromagnetic and multi-physics modelling of AC electric machines;
- AC electric machines cooling system design and performance assessment;
- Energy efficiency improvement of AC electric machine drives;
- Control strategies synthesis and implementation in AC electric machine drives, applied to acceleration and regenerative braking driving cycles;
- Assessment of the control strategies robustness against parameter variations due to heating and saturation;
- AC electric machine drives fault-tolerance investigation;
- Diagnostic and torque recovery techniques in the presence of faulty scenarios.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. World Electric Vehicle Journal 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 1400 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.
