The variability of fuel economy (FE) is of significant importance as that of average FE to realize FE benefits of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) consistently by all users in the real world. Over the years, majority of the research has been focused on improving average FE overlooking the variability. Although in recent years few studies have been focused on the reduction of FE variability, no study has been concentrated to understand why certain design has lower FE variability as that of others. This article provides a detailed analysis to decipher the reasons for the FE variability in the real world. This study considered the optimum designs based on two established design optimization methodologies considering Toyota Prius non-plug-in hybrid as a base vehicle. This study analyses the impacts of the parameters of driving patterns and the operation of powertrains on FE variability. The study explains that comparatively bigger internal combustion engine (ICE) in combination with the optimum sizes of generator motor and battery could lead to lower FE variability in the real world due to lesser time of operation of ICE to charge the battery.
