A system for operating an hybrid vehicle is described. The system includes an hybrid operating strategy module for controlling hybrid operating functions of the vehicle based on input data, a navigation system providing vehicle routing input data to the hybrid operating strategy module, and a traffic information system providing traffic information input data to the hybrid operating strategy module. The hybrid operating strategy module determines electric portions of the vehicle route for charging batteries of the vehicle and inner portions of the vehicle route for prioritizing electric driving.

1. A system for operating a hybrid vehicle, comprising: a navigation system providing vehicle routing input data of the hybrid vehicle corresponding to a vehicle route;a traffic information system providing traffic information input data that includes traffic jam information for the vehicle route; anda hybrid operating strategy module for controlling hybrid operating functions of the vehicle based on the vehicle routing input data received from the navigation system and the traffic information input data, including the traffic jam information, received from the traffic information system,wherein the hybrid operating strategy module determines electric portions of the vehicle route in which to charge an energy storage device of the vehicle, and inner portions of the vehicle route in which to prioritize electric driving, wherein at least one of the inner portions of the vehicle route is defined around a location of a traffic jam determined from the traffic jam information, andwherein, in accordance with the hybrid operating strategy, in the electric portions of the vehicle route, the energy storage devices are charged to meet expected increased charge demands resulting from upcoming traffic conditions at least partly within the inner portions of the vehicle route, as determined from the traffic jam information, including expected increased charge demands resulting from said traffic jam. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle routing input data comprises at least one of vehicle location, destination location and vehicle route. 3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the hybrid operating strategy module defines the inner portions of the vehicle route to be smaller than and within the electric portions thereof. 4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the inner portions and electrical portions are circular. 5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the hybrid operating functions comprise at least one of an energy storage device charging functionality, an electric driving functionality and an air conditioning functionality. 6. The system according to claim 1, further comprising at least one of energy storage devices, electrical machines and an air conditioner controlled by the hybrid operating strategy module. 7. The system according to claim 1, wherein the electric portions and the inner portions are defined, using at least one of the vehicle route input data and the traffic jam information, around each of departure points, destination points and traffic jams along the vehicle route. 8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the inner portions are defined, using the vehicle route input data from the navigation system, about a home and a workplace of a vehicle user. 9. The system according to claim 1, wherein the inner portions and the electric portions are defined by one of a selected time and a selected distance from a point of interest along the vehicle route. 10. The system according to claim 6, wherein, in the inner portions of the vehicle route, the electric motors preferentially provide propulsion to the vehicle. 11. A method of operating a hybrid vehicle, comprising the acts of: determining in a navigation system navigation data comprising a location, a destination and a route of the vehicle;receiving, from a traffic information system, traffic location data along the route of the vehicle, wherein the traffic location data includes traffic jam information along the route of the vehicle;receiving in a hybrid operating strategy module the navigation data and the traffic location data, including the traffic jam information, to predict points of interest along the route of the vehicle;defining in the hybrid operating strategy module electric portions of the vehicle route for charging an energy storage device of the vehicle and inner portions of the vehicle route for prioritizing electric driving in proximity of the points of interest, wherein at least one of the inner portions of the vehicle route is defined around a location of a traffic jam determined from the traffic jam information; andcharging, in the electric portions of the vehicle route and in accordance with the hybrid operating strategy, the energy storage device in order to meet expected increased charge demands resulting from upcoming traffic conditions at least partly in the inner portions of the vehicle route, as determined from the traffic jam information, including expected increased charge demands resulting from said traffic jam. 12. The method according to claim 11, further comprising the acts of defining the inner portions within the electric portions. 13. The method according to claim 11, further comprising instructing an electric drive functionality to preferentially utilize electric propulsion when in the inner portions. 14. The method according to claim 12, further comprising defining, using the vehicle route input data from the navigation system, the inner portions and the electric portions about at least one of a home and a workplace specified by a user of the vehicle. 15. The method according to claim 12, further comprising defining, using the traffic jam information received from the traffic information system, the inner portions and the electric portions about traffic jams along the vehicle route. 16. The method according to claim 11, further comprising depicting the electric portions and the inner portions of the route on a map display. 17. The method according to claim 11, further comprising defining the electric regions and the inner regions by specifying one of a distance to and a time to at least one of said points of interest along the vehicle route.
