IJPT is a forum for presentation and discussion of novel scientific and technological results contributed to advancing powertrain technology, ranging from components and subsystems to system integration and controls. The focus is primarily on ground vehicle applications, but other applications will be considered. The journal’s perspective is largely inspired by the fact that many modern innovations in powertrain advancement are only possible due to synergies between the research areas of mechanical design, mechanisms, mechatronics, controls, networking system integration and others. The science behind the above areas is characterised by physical phenomena across the range of physics (multiphysics) and the scale of motion (multiscale) that govern the behaviour of components and subsystems. This motivates IJPT’s overarching goal of providing a unique, high-quality platform within which scientific research in these areas can be archived and discussed synergistically.  Objectives
The overarching objective of IJPT is to provide a unique and effective channel within which ground-breaking collaborative research findings in the powertrain area are archived and discussed. The journal will emphasise the potential of advanced emerging powertrain systems to achieve significant improvements in fuel economy, emissions, reliability, durability, drivability, robustness and cost efficiency. The journal will also recognize the rapidly growing complexity of powertrain systems, and the seamless integration between their various hardware and software components. This creates the need for a journal that addresses complex powertrain engineering issues in a synergistic way with emphasis on the potential of innovations in multiple disciplines to pave the road towards novel powertrain architectures and technologies. Readership
IJPT provides a means to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers, working in the field of vehicle and powertrain engineering, analysis, research and development, to disseminate information and exchange views on recent advances in the field. Contents
IJPT publishes original papers, technology reviews, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, and book reviews. Special issues devoted to important topics and developments in the powertrain area will be published on a regular basis. Subject Coverage
Areas of interest to the journal include – but are certainly not limited to:
- Design, modelling, dynamics and control of engine, transmission and driveline
- Energy management strategies for multi-modes of propulsion such as hybrid powertrains
- Innovative energy efficient and environment friendly technologies, including plug-in systems
- Advanced energy conversion, e.g., fuel energy conversion (of fuel cells),onboard energy storage (of battery, ultracapacitor, flywheel, and other storage media) and generation (of regeneration, solar panel, thermoelectric and other waste-heat recovery)
- Electric drive systems including motors, generators, invertors and power electronics
- Powertrain integration, control, optimisation, diagnostics and prognostics
- Networked powertrain systems
- Software development for powertrain control; real-time powertrain simulation
- Experimental powertrain investigations and model validation
- Component and Powertrain-In-the-Loop techniques
- Advanced engine technology, and advanced techniques in emission reductions
- Analysis and assessment of powertrain technologies impact on energy utilisation and environment
