The purpose of the optimization is minimizing the initial cost, as well as the running costs of the vehicle. Therefore there is a multi-objective design optimization problem in hand. Such problems are very suitable for mathematical optimization, however, accurate and not time consuming design procedure is a must, to obtain meaningful results. This paper introduces such a design procedure. The approach is illustrated on a commercial vehicle simulation model. The accuracy of the model is illustrated by comparing simulation results with vehicle test results. © 2018 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBatteryHybrid energy storage systemSeries hybrid electric vehicleSeries hybrid electric vehicle modelling and designSupercapacitorConference ObjectN/AN/A377382
