Advanced Energy and Propulsion Technology for Electric and Intelligent Transportation, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The transition toward electric and intelligent transportation is accelerating worldwide, driven by the urgent need to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and enable safer and smarter mobility solutions. From electric vehicles and rail systems to marine and emerging aerial platforms, advances in energy and propulsion technologies are playing a central role in shaping the future of transportation. At the same time, the integration of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced sensing, and connectivity is transforming how these systems are designed, controlled, and operated.

This Topic aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on advanced energy and propulsion technologies that support next-generation electric and intelligent transportation. It provides a platform for sharing both fundamental research and applied developments, covering innovations at the component, subsystem, and system levels. Areas of interest include advanced batteries and hybrid energy storage systems, electric machines and drives, power electronics, propulsion architectures, thermal management, and energy management strategies.

Particular attention is given to intelligent and data-driven approaches, including AI-enabled control, diagnostics, prognostics, and digital twins, which are increasingly important for improving performance, safety, and reliability across the full system lifecycle. Contributions addressing sustainability, lifecycle assessment, safety, and real-world deployment challenges are also strongly encouraged.

By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, this Topic seeks to highlight recent advances, share practical insights, and identify key challenges and future directions. Ultimately, the goal is to support the development and deployment of efficient, intelligent, and sustainable transportation systems that can meet the demands of future mobility.
