In order to manage the power of electric drive system effectively and improve the fuel economy and working efficiency of electric drive tracked vehicle, this paper proposed a novel energy management control strategy based on the theory of threshold logic and fuzzy logic. The mathematical models of the key components of electric drive system were built in SIMULINK. To examine and analysis the efficiency of control strategy, a driver-controller based HILS (hardware-in-the-loop simulation) platform was built and the energy management control strategy was verified. The simulation results reveal that the strategy have excellent performance in energy distribution, fuel saving and working efficiency, and the proposed control strategy is simple and easy to realize in a real controller, which provides an effective method for the design and application of energy management control strategy of electric drive tracked vehicle.
