Hybrid Vehicle has been a popular topic recently due to global warming as well as increasing fuel consumption issues. Major automobile company such as Honda and Toyota started to develop hybrid vehicle in response to environmental degradation. This report analyzes the hybridization of a conventional car by adding an electric motor to drive the wheels. The study being done is based on the objectives to understand the vehicle's system and designing the hardware. The purpose of this study is, beside to study the HEV system itselfj it is also to identify requirements of various control system in series HEV and apply the theoretical knowledge to design the elements ofseriesHEVand its control system. In this report, the researcher has divided the topic into 5 main chapters which are the introduction, literature review, methodology, results and discussion and conclusion. Introduction part will give the details about the purposes and objectives. Details about the vehicle system are included in the literature review where type of vehicle and its construction is explained in details. Based on chosen configuration, the details about parameters of the designed vehicle are explained in methodology part. Results and discussions give the overall comment on the designed vehicle and being concluded at conclusion part. Recommendations are suggested at conclusion part. The researcher hopes that this report will gives an understanding about HEV. It is important to notice that the contents of this report are comprehensive and easily understood even by non-technical readers. The ideas are represented in proper manner and very well organized. Hopefully readers would take the advantage of sharing the researcher knowledge in completing the Final Year Project.
