Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) improvements in fuel economy and emissions strongly depend on the energy management strategy. Big obstacles to the control design are the model complexity and the necessity of “a priori” knowledge of torque and velocity profiles for optimal torque split. This paper presents and compares four different energy management approaches for the control of a parallel hybrid electric sport-utility-vehicle.
