Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite all the efforts by the manufacturers and users of the powertrain system to adopt electric propulsion systems and the legislation which forces to avoidance of the fossil fuel-based powertrain, it is unimaginable to turn the wheels of modern society completely without Internal Combustion (IC) engines.
Undoubtedly for the next few decades we are dependent on the IC engines for both stationary and vehicular propulsion, all be it in different form as we have now. The combustion engines have gone through a century of development with millions of them currently keeping us living in the luxury that we are accustomed to. Even before the introduction of the emission legislations in the 1970’s the IC engine has been constantly modified in terms of power generation, fuel consumption and reliability. The micro-chip revolution in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s created a significant change in fuel and timing control from the traditional mechanical sensing and actuators to micro-processor based control which resulted in improved emission and fuel consumption. This further added more reliability and higher torque generation. These improvements continued in terms of design and construction of the IC engines by using advanced computer aided engineering tools. This resulted in further technological advances in terms of control, modelling, testing and manufacturing of advance IC engines which is the subject of this Special Issue.

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. Energies 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
