Abstract : The aim is to analyze the efficiency difference between hybrid and Conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in terms of fuel consumption regarding both environmental gain, economic advantage. Hybrid vehicles have become a practical and attractive choice for the consumers in face of increasing global need for energy efficient and earth- friendly transportation. Utilising a hybrid electric powertrain, with the propulsion unit running off electricity while the traditional combustion engine provides on-demand power directly to the generator This type of platform is for long range optimized fuel efficiency and overall vehicle performance under several driving conditions. The studies adopt a quantitative comparative approach by analyzing true driving data, manufacturer specifications and simulation models to quantify fuel consumption under various driving conditions (e.g. urban, highway and mixed modes). The main analyzed parameters are the fuel consumption, the CO2 and pollutant levels of exhaust gases as well as the costs during vehicle lifetime. The effect of battery size, vehicle mass and driving style on the efficiency results is also examined in the study. Results are to show the relative benefits of hybrid technology by quantifying cost savings in fuel and environmental footprint. The findings can inform policymakers, automotive developers, and consumers to make informed choices on vehicles purchasing, energy saving, and sustainable transportation behavior. Furthermore, the research study is of special importance for developing countries as the fuel is expensive and environment concerns are severe. In general, this study offers insight in the performance of a hybrid vehicle and can make use for practical proposals that aims in establishing a cleaner type in more efficient transportation across the world.
