Contribution of Vehicle System and Accessories on Fuel Consumption of Perodua Viva

'Contribution of Vehicle System and Accessories on Fuel Consumption of Perodua
Viva' is a final year study regarding factors affecting fuel consumption of Perodua
Viva. Several factors mentioned in this project are air-conditioning system, electronic
devices, vehicle weight and the usage of Low Rolling Resistance Tire (LRR). The
factors above contribute certain level of percentage of fuel consumption of the car. To
clarify the percentage contribution of the factors, experimental based on real car,
Perodua Viva had been done for every factor. Distance covered by the car using one
liter of fuel was measured and analyzed to calculate the percentage offuel consumption.
From the experiment's result, a map of parameter has been developed to show the level
of significance in term of fuel consumption for each factor. At the end of the project,
map of parameter had classified three main factors that contribute significantly to fuel
consumption, which are air-conditioning system usage, vehicle weight and the usage of
Low Rolling Resistance Tire (LRR). While for electronic devices factor, the result is
not too significant as the Perodua Viva car does not have any high technology
equipment built in the car.
