Abstract: 
In this paper begins by providing an overview of the development of internal combustion engine vehicles, especially cars, and their impacts on the environment and human life. It then discusses the various types of alternative vehicles being developed to replace conventional vehicles, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The major focus of the thesis is on the fuel consumption equation of hybrid vehicles. It provides a detailed analysis of the equation, including the coefficients and the terms used, and the effects of different parameters on the equation. After the analysis, the author presents several suggestions for improving the fuel consumption of hybrid vehicles. The result was to propose a new equation that can accurately predict the fuel consumption of hybrid vehicles as a function of their speed and acceleration. The proposed equation was validated through a series of experiments and was found to be more accurate than the existing equations.
