Power System and Energy Management of Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

Exhaust gases from personal transport are among the key contributors to global warming. As personal transport is of high importance today, considerable effort is being made to make vehicles more environmentally friendly. Numerous power systems for hybrid electric vehicles have been studied, and several solutions, including not only internal combustion engines and fuel cell-based solutions, will likely coexist in the future. Energy management is a topic that is crucial for all hybrid electric vehicles, and considerable work still needs to be done to consolidate an energy management strategy that unites aspects of optimization with real-time application. In this context, questions of route planning and prediction are interesting not only with regard to recharge planning. Furthermore, the link between energy management of hybrid electric vehicles and autonomous driving might also be of interest. In conclusion, the topic of power system and energy management of hybrid electric vehicles is key in the development of sustainable personal transport in the future.

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. 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.
