In this regard, electrified powertrains are bound to replace conventional thermal engines to reduce greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions. The synergy between the internal combustion engine and the electric unit in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining high vehicle performance and driving comfort. Moreover, unlike pure electric vehicles, the hybrid electric powertrain fulfills even the most demanding energetic requirements, ranging from light- and heavy-duty vehicles to agricultural machinery, vessels, and aircraft, thus becoming the optimal sustainable solution in the short term. Nonetheless, the full potential of HEVs can only be exploited using a multidisciplinary approach to design the mechanical and electrical equipment and implement the optimal energy management strategy. This Special Issue, "Frontiers in Hybrid Vehicles Powertrain", provides a broad perspective on the current challenges and research trends of the hybrid electric powertrain collecting nine peer-reviewed papers dealing with the main mechanical, electrical, controls, and energetic issues of HEVs.History of engineering and technologybicsscMechanical engineering and materialsbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc&nbspalternative propulsion systembattery ageingbattery lifetimebattery temperaturecalibration optimizationCO2 emissioncompound split transmissioncontrol strategydrivability and emission trade-offe-mobilityelectric continuously variable transmissionelectrified powertrainemissions reductionenergy management strategyfloating PV systemglobal efficiencyhybrid electric air-ground vehiclehybrid electric tractorshybrid electric vehiclehybrid vehicle powertrainhydrogenmechanical efficiencymechanical power transmissionmodel predictive controlmultimode transmissionNOx emissionsparallel hybridplanetary gear trainspollutant emissionsPontryagin&rsquopower-flowpower-split hybridpower-split hybrid transmissions minimum principlethermal managementtorque allocation control logicHistory of engineering and technologyMechanical engineering and materialsTechnology: general issuesBOOK9910743278403321Frontiers in Hybrid Vehicles Powertrain3560578UNINA
