Electrification is a widely explored area in many fields and is becoming a widely researched topic in tracked vehicles. Achieving efficient operation for such vehicles is crucial similar to traditional vehicles. This paper introduces a speed profile generation procedure for a dual track - series hybrid tracked vehicle with an emphasis on fuel economy and trip time optimization. A Dynamic Programming method is proposed in spatial domain, considering the properties of predefined road geometries. The study includes examination of speed and torque estimation of the sprockets, particularly during steering maneuvers. Unlike wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles have to overcome the turning resistance moment of skid steered tracks. Taking these dynamics into account, the study investigates efficient operation, presenting over a predefined road track including straight road, inclined road and curve sections, discussing the tradeoff between fuel economy and trip time optimality. As the result of problem solution, speed profiles are generated, and operation trends of the powertrain components are discussed.
