The control method includes the steps that: a cooperative control unit receives a first engine torque output by an EMS, a first engine torque limiting request output by a four-drive controller, a second engine torque limiting request output by an ESP, and a third engine torque limiting request output by a TCU from a CAN bus respectively; and the cooperative control unit cooperatively controls the first engine torque limiting request, the second engine torque limiting request, the third engine torque limiting request, and the first engine torque, and outputs a second engine torque as an engine execution torque.

A through the road (TTR) hybridization strategy is proposed to facilitate introduction of hybrid electric vehicle technology in a significant portion of current and expected trucking fleets. In some cases, the technologies can be retrofitted onto an existing vehicle (e.g., a truck, a tractor unit, a trailer, a tractor-trailer configuration, at a tandem, etc.). In some cases, the technologies can be built into new vehicles. In some cases, one vehicle may be built or retrofitted to operate in tandem with another and provide the hybridization benefits contemplated herein. By supplementing motive forces delivered through a primary drivetrain and fuel-fed engine with supplemental torque delivered at one or more electrically-powered drive axles, improvements in overall fuel efficiency and performance may be delivered, typically without significant redesign of existing components and systems that have been proven in the trucking industry.

In a method for front-rear driving torque distribution of a vehicle, a controlling apparatus determines an expected status parameter existing during steering of a vehicle based on a wheel angle of the vehicle. The controlling apparatus determines a current correction yawing moment based on an actual status parameter existing during the steering of the vehicle and the expected status parameter, and determines a mapping relationship between a correction yawing moment and a torque distribution coefficient based on the wheel angle and acceleration information of the vehicle. The controlling apparatus then determines a torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle based on the current correction yawing moment and the mapping relationship, and determines front and rear axle driving torques of the vehicle based on the torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle.
