'Contribution of Vehicle System and Accessories on Fuel Consumption of Perodua Viva' is a final year study regarding factors affecting fuel consumption of Perodua Viva. Several factors mentioned in this project are air-conditioning system, electronic devices, vehicle weight and the usage of Low Rolling Resistance Tire (LRR). The factors above contribute certain level of percentage of fuel consumption of the car. To clarify the percentage contribution of the factors, experimental based on real car, Perodua Viva had been done for every factor. Distance covered by the car using one liter of fuel was measured and analyzed to calculate the percentage offuel consumption. From the experiment's result, a map of parameter has been developed to show the level of significance in term of fuel consumption for each factor. At the end of the project, map of parameter had classified three main factors that contribute significantly to fuel consumption, which are air-conditioning system usage, vehicle weight and the usage of Low Rolling Resistance Tire (LRR). While for electronic devices factor, the result is not too significant as the Perodua Viva car does not have any high technology equipment built in the car. 3
