In order to improve the work coordination of powertrain of fuel cell hybrid vehicle and solve the problems of vehicle dynamic performance and fuel economy, the main components of powertrain were selected for hydrogen-oxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell-lead acid battery hybrid vehicle. Then some feasible power matching schemes of fuel cell and lead-acid battery were determined. At last the vehicle simulation platform in ADVISOR was established and all sorts of matching schemes in FTP and ECE_EUDC simulation conditions were simulated. To meet the requirements of vehicle dynamic performance, fuel economies of all sorts of matching schemes were analyzed, and the best match of fuel cell and lead acid battery was obtained.
