Abstract :
This paper describes the development of an electrically assisted, hybrid electric vehicle. The mechanical and electrical system modifications required to convert a 1995 Dodge Neon Sedan are presented. Results of dynamic testing with regards to fuel economy, vehicle range, and emissions are presented to illustrate the benefits of operating the vehicle as an HEV
