It is clear from the review presented in this paper that policymakers must consider multiple overlapping criteria when evaluating advanced vehicles. Careful consideration of the energy sources required and how they impact both consumers and the environment should help influence the direction for government support, funding, and potentially, incentives to facilitate change. It is apparent from the state of the industry that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have a promising long-term future in the transportation industry. However, the technology is not without its challenges and is early in its journey to the consumer market. The vehicle studied in this paper illustrates the major components required for such a system and some of integration challenges currently being experienced. Lastly, the control strategies used in a hybrid vehicle have a profound impact on the performance and efficiency of the vehicle. In some cases, the type of control should be considered when selecting hybrid architectures. If a particular control strategy is not feasible for a desired architecture, then there could be significant reductions in expected vehicle performance. Although the optimization technique used in this paper does not implement an onboard real-time optimization strategy contained on the vehicle controller, it does make use of optimization analysis offline to influence and adaptive control strategy by modifying the fuel cell optimal set point. The results affirm that the aggressiveness and drive cycle characteristics can influence the operation and performance of control strategies, and researchers should continue to investigate methods to predict these drive cycle characteristics. A major point of this article was to highlight some of the control development process used to develop the UWAFT FC-PHEV power train integration and to emphasize the significant impacts these strategies can have on vehicle performance.
