Advanced algorithms can promote the development of energy management strategies (EMSs) as a key technology in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Reinforcement learning (RL) with distributed structure can significantly improve training efficiency in complex environments, and multi-threaded parallel computing provides a reliable algorithm basis for promoting adaptability. Dedicated to trying more efficient deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms, this paper proposed a deep q-network (DQN)-based energy and emission management strategy (E&EMS) at first. Then, two distributed DRL algorithms, namely asynchronous advantage actor-critic (A3C) and distributed proximal policy optimization (DPPO), were adopted to propose EMSs, respectively. Finally, emission optimization was taken into account and then distributed DRL-based E&EMSs were proposed. Regarding dynamic programming (DP) as the optimal benchmark, simulation results show that three DRL-based control strategies can achieve near-optimal fuel economy and outstanding computational efficiency, and compared with DQN, two distributed DRL algorithms have improved the learning efficiency by four times.
