Abstract: A Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is an advanced automobile that combines an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and battery system. The hybrid system improves fuel efficiency, reduces harmful emissions, and enhances vehicle performance. HEVs use regenerative braking technology to recover energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and store it in the battery for future use. With increasing concerns about environmental pollution and depletion of fossil fuels, hybrid electric vehicles have become an important solution for sustainable transportation. This paper discusses the concept, components, working principle, advantages, disadvantages, and future prospects of hybrid electric vehicles.
