Abstract
Our project is about increasing the efficiency of hybrid cars. Hybrid cars operate using two systems, the Internal Combustion System (ICS) and the Electric System (ES) and since they depend more on the ICS, more polluting gases are emitted. They depend more on the ICS due to the fact that batteries are not efficient enough for the hybrid car to operate using the electric system. Our project proposes some solutions to enhance the battery life, make the car depend more on the electric system and increase the cruising range and hence increase the efficiency.
