Electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles are the main contributors toward reaching the net-zero emission target in the transport sector. To ensure the smooth entry of battery-electric and other renewable vehicles into the market, hybrid and plug-in hybrids play an irreplaceable role in technical reserve and market expansion. To improve the efficiency of energy utilisation and dynamic performance of the electrified powertrain system, modelling, control, and optimisation methods for advanced architecture and driving assistance technologies are indispensable and worthy to be investigated.

This special issue aims to collect tutorials and critical reviews of the state-of-the-art enabling technologies for zero-emission road vehicles. Papers regarding the fundamental study, applications, and review are all recommended to help expand readerships from either academia or industry.

Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited, to the following:

• Advancements in powertrain architectures
• System level optimisation and control
• Reliability and lifetime estimation
• Battery management system
• Physical modelling and digital twining for powertrain subsystem
• Intelligent modular design of hybrid powertrain
• Driving assistance technology (e.g., driver model, velocity prediction, etc.)
• Environmental factors (e.g., pedestrians, traffic, geography, etc.)
