The hybrid vehicles combine the prospective features of the performance of conventional and battery powered engines. This work is to investigate the performance of Split Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle (SPHEV) under two sample test drive and urban test drive. The various key parameters of simulation, namely power rating of engine, traction motor, generator and Peak Power Source (PPS) are derived for a standard commercially available vehicle. The powertrains used for vehicle are Mechanical and Hydraulic hybrid types. The increased fuel prices, stringent pollution norms and need of improved efficiency are key factors to explore electric hybrid power-trains. The system parameters for SPHEV mainly include the A well-designed parametric component of SPHEV will substantially power the vehicle for defined drive conditions.

Keywords: SPHEV, Hybrid Vehicle, USD, Series and Parallel Hybrid, Battery System for SPHEV.
