Abstract
This HEV is designed to improve the overall thermal efficiencies of passenger utility vehicles that operate under heavy traffic conditions in the streets of Manila. The system is scalable from a small "passenger tricycle" to a passenger bus and may be considered as a retrofit system to existing vehicles.
