SAE International Journal of Alternative Powertrains

The SAE International Journal of Alternative Powertrains provides a forum for peer-reviewed scholarly publication of original research and review papers that address challenges and present opportunities in alternative and electric powertrains and propulsion technology. The Journal strives to facilitate discussion between researchers, engineers, academic faculty and students, and industry practitioners working with systems as well as components, and the technological aspects and functions of powertrains and propulsion systems alternative to the traditional combination of internal combustion engine and mechanical transmission. The editorial scope of the Journal includes all technical aspects of alternative propulsion technologies, including, but not limited to, electric drives and electromobility systems, hybrid technology, battery and super-capacitor technology, power electronics, hydraulic drives, energy storage systems for automotive applications, fuel cell technology, and charging and smart grid infrastructures.
