Abstract

The aim of this project is to focus on the design and fabrication of a hybrid two-wheeler system. As conventional fuel sources continue to deplete and global pollution levels rise due to the escalating number of vehicles, alternative fuels, and innovative concepts have gained prominence. The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system is an effective solution. The project involves creating a two-wheeler (HEV) that harnesses both fuel-based and electric energy. The system integrates an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Initially, the electric motor, i.e., connected to the rear wheel CVT clutch assembly by the belt drive, propels the vehicle using energy from the battery. Then, the internal combustion engine powers the vehicle. By rigorously testing and analyzing the performance of this hybrid two-wheeler in engine mode, electric mode, and hybrid mode, we aim to demonstrate its efficiency and compare it with conventional bikes. Ultimately, this vehicle holds the potential to significantly reduce pollution and fuel consumption and contribute to a sustainable future.
