Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles are playing an increasingly important role in transportation, having a positive footprint in the environment, and they are expected to dominate in the market. The design of hybrid vehicles and automotive systems is constantly evolving to provide superior energy efficiency, comfort, and handling. Today’s automotive systems in hybrid as well as new technology ICE vehicles are often equipped with smart and electronically actuated subsystems, where also the mechanical parts are fused with the electronic ones, resulting in integrated components. Energy harvesting is also a topic of great interest. Today, the most common methods for regaining energy are vibration energy harvesting through suspension systems and energy regeneration from braking.
This Special Issue focuses on current advances in the field of Hybrid Vehicles and Automotive System Design of Electronics. Topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicle design;
- Hybrid vehicle propulsion systems and components;
- Motors and power electronic converters for hybrid vehicles;
- Fault diagnosis and tolerance for hybrid vehicles and automotive electronic systems;
- Energy storage for hybrid vehicles;
- Electronically actuated automotive parts;
- Automotive electronics;
- Magnetorheological dampers;
- Smart suspensions;
- Energy harvesting.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
