Circular Economy: Retrofitting Fossil Fuel Cars to Hybrids - Pre-Study

Important results from the project

The initial purpose of the project is the converting a fossil fuel car to an electrical hybrid car which has several benefits including Reduced fuel consumption, Reduced emissions, Lower operating costs, Improved performance, Longer lifespan, and Reduced dependence on fossil fuels. The main goal of this project is to investigate and assess the feasibility of converting fossil fuel-based passenger vehicles into electric hybrid cars as a means to establish an environmentally sustainable and Eco-friendly transportation system.

Expected long term effects

The project was discovered that the converting gasoline cars into hybrids is technically feasible and offers substantial advantages in fuel efficiency and emission reduction. So, research and dialog with industrial partners and manufacturers is necessary and recommended that play a pivotal role in the development of a compatible and modular power-train suitable for retrofitting vehicles in subsequent phases of their life cycle. So, its suggested to to create a power-train solution that is not only technically feasible but also economically viable for retrofitting purposes.

Approach and implementation

Investigating with industrial partners and manufacturers to design a compatible and modular power-train for retrofitting involves a strategic and collaborative approach. This effort encompasses several key aspects aimed at ensuring the successful integration of new components into existing vehicle platforms including: Technical Compatibility Analysis, Component Standardization, Modular Design Principles, Integration Feasibility Studies, Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation, Life-cycle Assessment, and Market Readiness and Adoption.
