[0002] A hybrid electric vehicle refers to a vehicle whose driving system is composed of two or more single driving systems operating simultaneously, and the vehicle's driving power can be provided by a single driving system alone or at least two driving systems together, depending on the actual driving state of the vehicle. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles have more heat sources and a larger temperature span. As the degree of hybridization deepens, the thermal management requirements of the power battery become non-negligible. In order to better coordinate the heat in the hybrid electric vehicle and improve the energy efficiency of the vehicle, the thermal management system of the hybrid electric vehicle needs to be further optimized.
