Climate change is the key environmental problem of the coming decades. To face this challenge, fuel consumption must be reduced in the transport industry by developing new technologies. Electrification is one of the main current actions to achieve this reduction in road transport, as EU Horizon 2030 targets foresee a 40% reduction in CO₂ emissions per km. A definition of integrated thermal systems that would allow meeting the temperature needs of hybrid and pure-electric powertrains is currently a challenging topic. Although hybrid aircraft prototypes exist, in air transport focus is put on improved geared turbofan engines with UHBRs (Ultra High By-pass Ratios). These new-generation engines require innovative thermal management strategies to cope with increased heat generation. In these technologies, thermal management plays a crucial role for achieving solutions that meet the current decarbonized transport challenge. Therefore, the development of both reliable numerical methodologies and experimental techniques for thermal management assessment of propulsive systems is of the upmost importance in the pursuit of sustainable mobility. We kindly invite you to submit your work related to the field of  Thermal management and experimental techniques for a sustainable mobility for consideration for publication. This Special Issue represents an opportunity to gather the most recent advances in this field with application to both road and air transportation.
