IJAP are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies academics and research institutions and persons concerned with the issues of alternative propulsion, and to provide a forum for them to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological change and changes in the global economy.

Professionals, academics, researchers, and managers.

IJAP publishes papers which represent original research, development and applications, as well as case studies, review papers and technical reports.

• Innovations and new developments in alternative propulsion systems
• High power energy generation systems
• Electric and hybrid vehicles
• Application of fuel cell technology to propulsion
• 42-volt electrical systems for alternative propulsion systems
• Impact of high voltage on vehicle wiring architecture
• Novel and alternative energy systems and fuels
• New materials for alternative propulsion systems
• Economy, energy efficiency and environmental benefits
• Theoretical and conceptual studies into the conditions for implementation of alternative propulsion in transport
• Empirical studies on experiences with pilot programmes for alternative propulsion in transport
• Sectorial studies into various types of barriers inhibiting implementation of alternative propulsion in transport

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available in the Full Submission Guidelines web-page.

All papers must be submitted online. To submit a paper, please go to Online Submissions of Papers. If you experience any problems submitting your paper online, please contact submissions@inderscience.com, describing the exact problem you experience. Please include in your email the title of the Journal.
