Sudipto Shekhor Mondol, Saswata Ghosh

Abstract: Hybridization in automobiles can be regarded as a significant step in reducing greenhouse gases and harmful emissions. In the modern era, where gasoline powered vehicles are ruling the automotive industry, the technology of hybrid vehicles may reduce the consumption of fuel and become one of the most important eco-friendly technology in the near future. Further development of hybrid vehicles should be encouraged to reduce dependency on fossil fuel. This paper describes the design and fabrication procedures that were undertaken for the manufacture of a hybrid vehicle and a brief idea of alternate materials that were used and what could have been used instead.
