The series hybrid electric bus that is demonstrated operating in China has the problem of non-ideal fuel economy for the conventional auxiliary equipment can’t shut down the engine. Based on the series hybrid electric bus using electric auxiliary equipment, a control strategy is proposed based on the combination of engine low-speed shutdown and load following. The main control variables are battery SOC and vehicle speed, and the engine low-speed shutdown is realized. Three different driving cycles are employed: Chinese city driving cycle, Zhuzhou city of Hunan province driving cycle, and Hefei city of Anhui province driving cycle. By using the analysis method of the energy flow diagram, the fuel economy in different driving cycles is compared and analyzed. The simulation results show that the control strategy of the engine low-speed shutdown affects little on fuel economy in different driving cycles. All the fuel-saving ratios of the series hybrid system in different driving cycles can reach above 25%.
