An energy management system comprises an energy management module that electrically connects an energy storage system of a vehicle with a traction link of the vehicle, the traction link being electrically connected to a traction motor. The energy management module is configured to deliver electrical power from the energy storage system to the traction link during a haul route, according to a discharge rule that is selected by a comparison of predicted performance of a plurality of discharge rules to a baseline performance of the haul route, in which electrical power is not delivered from the energy storage system to the traction link, in order to obtain fuel savings, speed excess, or a combination of fuel savings and speed excess relative to the baseline performance.
