This paper proposes a brief review to study the implementation of fuel cells and management energy in hybrid vehicles. The use of fuel cells (FC) in the automotive field has been growing steadily over the last decades thanks to their simple operation, quiet running, and high efficiency. In addition, fuel cell vehicles have great advantages over electrified vehicles powered by secondary batteries in terms of mileage endurance, energy efficiency, charging speed and climate tolerance. In this paper, the classification and a brief introduction of HEVs/FCs are reviewed, then topologies of fuel cell HEVs are presented that illustrate the hybrid vehicle system of the different FC architectures. Finally, a discussion of control strategies for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is implemented with the clarification of future prospects for HEVs.
