Abstract
Abstract
In the face of energy scarcity and worsening air pollution, energy-intensive engineering vehicles demand rapid efficiency gains and emission reductions. Hybrid powertrains, which integrate multiple energy sources, offer a promising pathway. This review examines three hybrid configurations—diesel–electric, diesel–hydraulic, and hydrogen–battery—across energy flow, power density, efficiency, and emissions, alongside their typical applications. It further compares series, parallel, and compound (series–parallel and power-split) architectures, highlighting operational envelopes and duty-cycle suitability. Finally, it evaluates rule-based, optimization-based, and learning-based energy management strategies and their impact on real-world performance. Together, these analyses provide an integrated assessment of hybrid technology for engineering vehicles, outlining a foundation for innovation, deployment, and low-carbon transition in the sector. Vehicle hybrid powertrains are poised to evolve towards electrified, platform-based architectures, while energy management strategies will undergo a paradigm shift from rule-driven heuristics to data- and model-co-driven frameworks, underpinned by reinforcement learning, model predictive control and health management.
