IJVD, the journal of vehicle engineering, automotive technology and components, has been established for over a quarter of a century as an international authoritative reference in the field. It publishes the Proceedings of the International Association for Vehicle Design, which is an independent, non-profit-making learned society that exists to develop, promote and coordinate the science and practice of vehicle design and safety.

Topics covered include

• Vehicle engineering design
• Automotive technology
• R&D of all types of self-propelled vehicles
• R&D of vehicle components
• Interface inbetween aesthetics and engineering
• Integration of vehicle and components design into the development of finish vehicle systems
• Social and environmental impacts of vehicle design
• Energy
• Safety

IJVD aims to help engineers and applied scientists engaged in vehicle design and research, to contribute to the field, to disseminate technical information, and to learn from each other|s work.

Automotive engineers and academics working in university research and design departments and institutes, and managers, designers, technologists, and research and development engineers working in industry.

IJVD publishes original and review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, vehicle and component manufacturers| information, management reports, book reviews, and notes, commentaries, and news. Contribution may be by conformity or invitation, and suggestions for special issues and publications are welcome.
