The Corun hybrid system (CHS) is a deeply coupled multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) hybrid system. The two inputs are the torques of the two motors. The two outputs are the carrier speed and transmission output torque. Using the traditional control method, the multi-objective control quality cannot be guaranteed because of the adopted static decoupling method and proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers. In this paper, the problems of the traditional control method are carefully analyzed, and a new control method is proposed. Instead of static decoupling, dynamic decoupling is adopted to improve the decoupling control effect. A predictive functional controller instead of a PID controller is adopted to deal with the pure delay caused by controller area network (CAN) communication. The tracking effect of the target value is further improved by predictive functional controllers. For the two decoupled subsystems, that is, the integral system and the second-order underdamped system, two predictive functional controllers are designed. The new control method was verified by simulations and tests. The results show that the new control method is superior to the traditional control method for CHS.
