On behalf of the editorial board, we are pleased to announce that Volume 18 Issue 2 of the International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems is published online. We expect our publication schedule in 2026 to follow roughly 6-7 issues as a bi-monthly journal. We are looking for model based system engineering experts to support our peer review as the editorial board is receiving a number of manuscripts in the electrical vehicles domain as well as electrified transportation. We are also looking to bring out special issue on the safety of these vehicles in the forthcoming months. Thanks for your ongoing support to our journal in circulation since 2009, yes 17 years of service to our researchers community.
