A standard, light automobile was converted to series hybrid electric propulsion. The vehicle was capable of using a variety of fuels with a substantial increase in fuel economy for the conventional fuels. Low cost, low technology, and ease of conversion were stressed in the design approach. After completion and testing of the first prototype, substantial modifications were made to the design, and experiments were conducted to examine alternative designs. The prototype vehicle is now undergoing additional modification as part of a continuing research and development program. (ERA citation 09:000752)
