Topical Collection Information:

Dear Colleagues,

While intense research activities have been dedicated to this field, several issues require further research prior to achieving full commercialization of hybrid vehicles. This topic seeks to contribute to disseminating the most recent advancements in the field with respect to modeling and energy analysis. The focus is placed on research covering all aspects of hybrid vehicles, including packaging, components design and realization, energy management and strategy, energy storage, insertion into the transportation system, and final usage. This also includes the development of new electric devices (fuel cells, ultra-capacitors, DC motors/generators, etc.), and recharging systems and their management.
