Proceedings of Automotive Science and Technology (PASTECH) is a peer-reviewed proceedings series dedicated to the dissemination of high-quality research and engineering developments in the automotive domain and the broader mobility ecosystem. It serves as an academic platform for publishing conference and symposium papers with clear scientific contribution, sound methodology, and reproducible/validated results, while fostering academia–industry collaboration and accelerating knowledge transfer.
PASTeCH welcomes original contributions based on experimental, numerical, analytical, and/or data-driven approaches, including applied engineering studies, comparative assessments, and well-documented industrial case studies that advance automotive science and technology.
