Energy Management Strategy of Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

With the accelerating green transformation of the automotive industry, energy management strategies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have emerged as a critical research domain for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances and practical applications in HEV energy management, encompassing rule-based methods, optimization algorithms, intelligent control techniques—including machine learning and deep learning—and cooperative approaches enabled by vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity. It examines the adaptability of these strategies under diverse and dynamic driving conditions, their potential for maximizing fuel economy and emission reduction, and the challenges associated with real-world implementation. By addressing both theoretical innovation and engineering feasibility, this collection aims to advance the development of intelligent, efficient energy management systems and to provide timely, high-impact solutions for the evolving automotive industry.
