The Congress of Automotive and Transport Engineering is an annual scientific event initiated in 1990 by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Romania (SIAR) and various Romanian universities with an interest in Automotive and Transport Engineering. This Congress is endorsed by EAEC (European Automotive Engineers Cooperation). The XXXII-nd edition of SIARS’s International Congress with the theme “Automotive and Transport Engineering” and the XVII-th European Automotive Congress was organized for the third time by Department of Mechanical Machines, Equipment and Transportation from the Politehnica University Timisoara. The Congress purpose is to gather members from academia, industry and government affiliated presenting their possibilities for investigations and latest research, to achieve collaborations in the near future in the field of automotive and transport engineering. The Congress hosted 201 participants from Europe, United States of America, Moldova presenting their scientific achievements within plenary sessions and congress sections. Thus, the auditorium had the opportunity to: • Gain insight into the cutting edge automotive and transport industry and ideas for future developments; • Update their skills and knowledge by attending focused technical sessions; • Network with potential new partners, clients and suppliers; • View the latest technology products and services in the technical exhibition. The papers included in this volume were selected by the Scientific Committee amongst the ones presented within the Congress and are covering the latest issues such as advanced powertrain and propulsion, automotive design and testing, terrain vehicles, advanced engineering methods, materials, automotive technology and maintenance, road safety, mobility of things. EAEC-MVT 2022 Student Congress was integrated into the main congress and offered students from around the world the opportunity to participate at an international conference and to present their papers on the main congress topics. This was also the meeting place for the young students (SIAR junior’s members) in an International Congress. We hope that these papers will be of interest to experts from academia and industry around the world and we wish them to create a favourable framework for addressing key issues in the field of Automotive and Road Transport Engineering that concern contemporary society today.
