Based on the requisition for an ideal precise power source for a hybrid electric emergency rescue vehicle (HE-ERV), we present an optimistic parameter matching and optimization schemes for the selection of a HE-ERV. Then, given a set of optimized power source components, they are classified into different types of HE-ERV. In this study, due to the different design objectives of different types of emergency rescue vehicles and the problems of hybrid electric vehicle parameter matching, a multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA) and non-linear programming quadratic Lagrangian (NLPQL) is proposed for the matched parameters. The vehicle dynamic model is established based on the AVL Cruise simulation platform. The power source performance parameters are matched by theoretical analysis and coupled to the simulation platform. Finally, the optimized matched parameters are classified based on the support vector machines classification model to determine the category of the HE-ERV. The classification results showed that there is an unprecedented level for categorizing several factors of the power source parameters. This research showed that its more logical and reasonable to match HE-ERVs with medium motor/engine power output and battery capacity, as these can attain dynamic performance, extended driving range, and reduced energy consumption.
