Transportation in Sustainable Energy Systems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the demands for energy efficiency in the transportation sector have constantly increased. We are facing many challenges in the transition to fully sustainable transportation, both in terms of finding suitable technologies and energy resources. Research on biofuels, hydrogen, electrofuels (or synthetic fuels), and electricity, as the four main alternatives to the current fossil fuel systems, and their applications to transportation, will be included in this Topic.
Transport planning also will be included, to improve mobility for vehicles, reduce emissions and save energy.
Transportation in Sustainable Energy Systems Topic invites papers on theoretical and applied issues including, but not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable transportation;
- Low- and zero-emission propulsion;
- Energy-efficient transport;
- Roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals, and terminals;
- Environmental and climate considerations;
- Air pollution;
- Transport planning;
- Modeling;
- Sustainable cities;
- Smart cities;
- Artificial Intelligence;
- Vehicles;
- Aircraft;
- Ships;
- Biofuels;
- Hydrogen;
- Electrofuels (or synthetic fuels);
- Combustion engines;
- Hybridization;
- Electric vehicles;
- Fuel cells;
- Fuel technologies.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
