Manufacturing of Composite External Body for Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Basically, the main objective of this project is to design and construct an aerodynamic
hybrid electric vehicle and also minimizing the overall vehicle weight and body part by
usingother alternatives sources instead of steel.
The reason of concentrating on aerodynamic is due to the Coefficient of Drag (Co) that
exerts on the vehicle body and hence by reducing the force will increase the car
performance. Moreover, the conventional car body is not practical to be used for hybrid
electric vehicle. Thus, lightweight material has to replace the conventional usage of steel
as car external body in order to maintainand increasethe performance while reducing the
fuel consumption.
The study involves on the existing car as the point of references by upgrading or
changing the body part, which is not applicable for hybrid electric vehicle. In fact,
feasibility study has to be done to understand the concept. The process flows start from
the design, testingand until the construction of the prototype car as the practical solution.
