Abstract
A system for operating an hybrid vehicle is described. The system includes an hybrid operating strategy module for controlling hybrid operating functions of the vehicle based on input data, a navigation system providing vehicle routing input data to the hybrid operating strategy module, and a traffic information system providing traffic information input data to the hybrid operating strategy module. The hybrid operating strategy module determines electric portions of the vehicle route for charging batteries of the vehicle and inner portions of the vehicle route for prioritizing electric driving.
