INTRODUCTION
Need & demand for automobiles is increasing at the speed of rocket; result is: Air
pollution, diminishing petroleum resources and so many other environmental impacts

Air pollution
Gasoline is a hydrocarbon
Toxic NOx, CO, unburned hydrocarbons
Results are acid rain, health problems

Environmental Impacts
CO2 leading greenhouse gas
Depletion of ozone layer
32% CO2 emission from transportation (1990-2000)

Diminishing Petroleum Resources & increased Price

Its believed we will reach the Hubberts peak oil for world-wide petroleum production around 2050

IF ITS TRUE, HEVS, BY THE TIME, WILL BE A PERMANENT

SOLUTION

Eco Friendly System

WHAT IS A HEV ?
An automobile powered by the combination of I.C engine with one
or more electric motor/generators and a battery pack

HISTORY OF HEVs
1997 (JAPAN) : First modern HEV introduced Toyota Prius

1999 (U.S.A) : First modern hev sold Honda Insight

CHARACTERISTICS

Isolation of engine from vehicle operating condition

Regenerative braking
Engine downsizing
No engine idle
Electric drive mode
Electrified accessories

HOW HEVs WORK ?

STARTING

Battery
Powers all the Assoceries
Gasoline engine is started only if :
additional power is needed
Battery needs to be charged

LOW SPEED

For initial acceleration, low-speed driving and reverse the

electric motor uses electricity from battery to power the
vehicle

PASSING
At speeds above mid-range and heavy acceleration:
Both the GASOLINE ENGINE and the ELECTRIC MOTOR are used to
propel the vehicle
Additional electricity from the battery may be used to power the electric
motor.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING
Electric motor converts otherwise wasted energy from baking into
electricity and stores it into battery
Recaptures kinetic energy normally lost as heat during braking.
Electric
as a generator when brakes are applied, converts

motor act

kinetic energy to electrical energy, which is stored in batteries

PPERIODIC STOPPING
During periodic stopping like at red light, traffic jam etc., both the
engine and the motor are shut off automatically to avoid energy
loss idling
All other systems, including the electric air conditioning, continue
to run

COMPONENTS
1. Hybrid Engine

3. Hybrid Battery

4. Electric Generator

Electric
Motor

5. Transmission & Gear system

ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY
Regenerative Braking
Kinetic Energy is converted into electrical energy by
electric motor & stored in the battery
Automatic Start & Shut-off

Automatic shuts-down and restarts the internal combustion

engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends
idling, thereby improving fuel economy and reducing
emissions

Use Lightweight Materials

Reducing the overall weight = increase the mileage
Aluminum and Magnesium or Composite materials like
carbon fiber used

FUTURE OF HEVs
HEVs are now at the forefront of transportation technology development.
Potential to allow continued growth in the automotive sector, while also
reducing critical resource consumption, dependence on foreign oil, air
pollution, and traffic congestion

FUTURE OF HEVs

ADVANTAGES

Reduced fuel consumption

Regenerative braking system stores electrical energy in Batteries
Performance improvements , ie. Excellent mileage
Fewer tailpipe emissions so less pollution
Smaller engine
Uses less fuel to recharge batteries
Lower fossil fuel dependence
Clean energy

DISADVANTAGES
Reduced, but not emission-free
HEVs are partial zero-emission vehicles (PZEVs) they produce
zero emissions only when engine is not running
More expensive than conventional Vehicles
Higher maintenance costs
Has a payback period in average use
Lower power output

CONCLUSIONS
HEVs have more efficiency, Low Fuel Economy, High Reliability and
Less Air Pollution.
Optimum Utilization of these Vehicles will yield in good Results,
especially Reduction of pollution
