 Aim

When the vehicle was manufactured, it involved scientists in chemistry, physics, energy, materials, design, engineering, environment, informatics, economics, ergonomics, standardization, health sciences, and even science related to regulation and policy. Then, when it is implemented, it will relate to the fields of transportation, logistics, economics, and social science. Therefore, this journal is open to researchers working in the design, production, and vehicle applications as previously stated.
All reports correspond to development, engineering, and implementation of vehicle types are facilitated in this journal, including private vehicles, all types of passenger vehicles, all types of freight vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, ambulances, military vehicles, fire engines, indoor vehicles, motorcycle, race cars, sports cars, rail vehicles, multipurpose vehicles, aircraft, and boats. Only articles that have a contribution will be published, while articles that are only illustrative of established principles and procedures, even though they may contain numerical data, will generally not be published.
