For　the　proton-exchange　membrane　fuel　cell　(PEMFC)　hybrid　electric　vehicles　(HEV),　a　hierarchical　model　predictive　control　(H-MPC)　strategy　is　proposed.　In　the　proposed　strategy,　an　upper-level　MPC　controller　is　designed　to　optimize　the　power　splitting　ratio　(PSR)　between　the　PEMFC　and　battery　pack,　and　a　predictable　power　profile　is　considered　further　to　smooth　the　power　requirement　from　the　PEMFC.　For　the　lower-level　MPC　controller,　it　is　used　to　realize　the　tracking　of　maximum　PEMFC　net　output　power,　by　optimizing　oxygen　excessive　ratio　(OER).　A　portion　of　the　US06　driving　cycle　is　adopted　to　evaluate　the　performance　of　the　proposed　method,　four　combinations　of　H-MPC　controller　are　compared　in　view　of　with/without　the　terminal　weight　and　predictable　power　profile.　Simulation　results　demonstrate　that　up　to　9.57%　equivalent　fuel　consumption　is　expected.
