Electrified vehicles, such as pure electric vehicles (PEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FEVs), play an important role in electrified transportation and have the potential to significantly reduce dependency on fossil fuels and pollutant emissions, which facilitate renewable ways of generating electricity, e.g. wind and solar energy sources, leading to a good synergy between the transportation and power sectors. Additionally, it enables the transportation electrification and contributes to the closer integration of vehicles and transportation system through V2X technology.
The objective of this special issue is to provide timely solutions for theoretical, technological and economic challenges in system integration and optimisation, key components, control of electrified vehicle and transportation systems. The main focus will be on the new advances in vehicle system and component design, including engine, electric machine and energy storage, integration of the vehicles and transportation and grid system, such as V2X (V2G, V2V and V2I). Additionally, the economic and policy aspects of promoting the market penetration of electrified vehicles are included in the issue’s scope.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Vehicle system integration, optimisation and control
- Key component design and advances, including energy storage, electric machines, motor drive systems, power electronic circuits, converters and inverters and internal combustion engines for electrified vehicle
- V2X technologies, including V2G (vehicle-to-grid), V2I and V2V services, economy and policy for transportation electrification: e.g. scheduling of charging stations, economic analysis of battery swapping, and life-cycle assessment of electrified vehicles and connected vehicles
