... All the above-mentioned progresses reflect in the consistently broad number of published patents and papers on HEV powertrains related to this period (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). Overall, the historical trends of the published material concerning HEV powertrains is reflected in the US HEV market evolution displayed in Figure 3 [58]. In fact, the steepest slope in the HEV market penetration rate to date can be observed for the "Commercialization" era of HEV R&D tools. ...

H ybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) represent a fundamental step in the global evolution towards transportation elec-trification. Nevertheless, they exhibit a remarkably complex design environment with respect to both traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and battery electric vehicles. Innovative and advanced design tools are therefore crucially required to effectively handle the increased complexity of HEV development processes. This paper aims at providing a comprehensive overview of past and current advancements in HEV powertrain design methodologies. Subsequently, major simplifications and limits of current HEV design methodologies are detailed. The final part of this paper defines research challenges that need accomplishment to develop the next generation HEV architecture design tools. These particularly include the application of multi-fidelity modeling approaches, the embedded design of powertrain architecture and on-board control logic and the endorsement of multidisciplinary optimization procedures. Resolving these issues may indeed remarkably foster the widespread adoption of HEVs in the global vehicle market.
