Overcoming the use of conventional internal combustion engines for future transportation is mandatory to achieve sustainability. In this regard, hybrid electric vehicles comprising hydrogen fuel cells with Li-ion battery storage are gaining more attention. The paper proposes a robust approach for economic power-sharing between these sources. A predictive speed control strategy is realized to improve the vehicle's overall operation compared to conventional proportional–integral–derivative controller and tested for various standardized driving cycles. Additionally, a comprehensive techno-economic analysis using total cost of ownership is performed. Results suggest that hybrid vehicles with fuel cells and batteries are more economical with costs($) of 5. 81 e 04 , 2. 17 e 04 , and 2. 04 e 05 , for transient, modal, and manual driving cycles, respectively compared with internal combustion engines and batteries having 6. 23 e 04 , 3. 21 e 04 , and 2. 54 e 05. Furthermore, for evaluating the performance of the proposed predictive controller in terms of error minimization, various performance indices are obtained, compared, and tested using a hardware-in-loop platform. • Predictive control-based optimal power management approach. • Economic benefits through hydrogen fuel cells (HFCs) as an auxiliary energy source. • The controller's performance investigation through performance indices (PIs). • Validation using simulation and Hardware-in-loop results. • Techno-economic analysis for full lifetime use of the HEV.
