Claim:
1. A system comprising: input circuitry configured to receive input values for one or more hybrid vehicle design variables; and hybrid vehicle design circuitry configured to quantify one or more values for one or more utility/disutility variables of a hybrid vehicle design based on the input values by evaluating a hybrid vehicle model over a collection of at least one of drive cycles and routes (drive cycles/routes), wherein the model operates with time as an independent variable and uses a velocity over distance profile as an input, the utility/disutility values including at least one of: the hybrid vehicle design circuitry further configured to calculate one or more specifications of a hybrid vehicle design based on the utility/disutility values, the one or more specifications comprising a traction power to achieve a target velocity at a particular distance and specified power delivered.
