Summary
Under the background of green and low carbon development in transport sector, energy diversification is important and sustainable energy receives much attention world widely. Electric and biofuels automobiles are the most significant substitutes to the traditional ones.
The application of electric automobiles and biofuels is effective to decrease the consumption of fossil fuels, reduce the emission of pollutants, and achieve the sustainable development for transport. Advanced technologies and innovative methods for electric automobiles are crucial. Issues on security, stability and reliability of electric automobiles and components are particularly important. The most common biofuels include plant oils, biodiesels, alcohols, ethers, etc. Highly efficient utilization of these fuels is the key technology issue. Specifically, issues on improving the spray and atomization quality, optimizing the combustion process, and reducing emission pollution are particularly important.
“Sustainable energy for transport” is a Special Issue for those who would like to publish original papers presenting important results of work in the field. The works can be applied research, development of new algorithms or components, original application of existing knowledge, etc.
The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
• Electric vehicle and parts safety
• Advanced electric vehicle control
• Power battery and energy management
• Motor and electric drive technology
• Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles
• pray and atomization characteristics of biofuels
• Combustion and emission characteristics of biofuels
• Optimizing the structure and parameters of power systems with biofuels
• Development policy and strategy for biofuels
