Hybrid electric vehicles powertrain, combining electric motor with an auxiliary power unit, can improve effectively the vehicle performance and fuel economy, reducing at the same time the effects of the use of private cars on the air quality of the cities. In this paper, a non-linear based sizing methodology is presented for evaluating the emissions influence on the powertrain sizing. It is aimed to minimize the main figures of merit holding in consideration many general aspects and variables. Some interesting simulation results are reported to prove the validity of the methodology which will contribute to a reduction of the pollutant emissions from hybrid electric vehicles.
