This report is the summary report of a series which documents the results of Phase I of the Near-Term Hybrid Vehicle Program. This phase of the program was a study leading to the preliminary design of a 5-passenger hybrid vehicle utilizing two energy sources (electricity and gasoline/diesel fuel) to minimize petroleum usage on a fleet basis. A complete summary of the work done on Phase I is presented in the following segments: overall summary of the Phase I activity; summary of the individual tasks; summary of the hybrid vehicle design; summary of the alternative design options; summary of the computer simulation; summary of the economic analysis; summary of the maintenance and reliability considerations; summary of the design for crash safety; and bibliography. These summaries are based on and are supported by the series of task reports that were submitted as deliverable items during the contract. (ERA citation 05:035129)
