This project enables existing vehicles to be retrofitted into a hybrid vehicle with minimal modification - achieved by placing electric motors in the hub with gear set up for wheel rotation. The present work describes different HEV configurations and identifies specific operating modes of the split-parallel architecture. Coupling of the two power sources - internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric motor - and control system. Proper distribution of power between the two sources determines effective operation of the hybrid vehicle. And efforts are being put to develop vehicle powered by solar energy, hydrogen, biodiesel and batteries. In this project we are replacing the motors and battery instead of engine of existing vehicle. This project makes use of a PIC micro controller, which is programmed, with the help of embedded C instructions. This PIC Microcontroller is capable of communicating with input and output modules. The user can select direction using joystick for controlling purpose. The controller is interfaced with two PMDC motors, which are fixed to the gears to control the Connection Rod of the vehicle.
