The transportation sector is a major source of worldwide carbon emissions and represents a significant contributor to air quality issues, particularly in metropolitan areas. To address the enormous carburization issues, the transportation sector must embrace low-emission vehicle technology. The team is presently developing a passenger electric hybrid car with the goal of reducing the environmental pollution. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which have a record of success in lowering hydrocarbon usage, stand as an intermediary technique between fully electric cars and internal combustion engines. In the present work, the conventional gasoline car has been tested on road at different trips condition. The gasoline fuel consumption as well as the SI engine emissions have been tested. A complete Hybrid electric system has been impeded instead of conventional driving gasoline engines and tested at a different charging rate of the battery. A comparison between the tested systems shows increased fuel efficiency as a key advantage of using HEVs technology. However, there are still unresolved issues about the system's energy reliability. HEVs emit up to 21.0, 5.8, 9.0-, and 23.3-times lower NOx, UHC, CO, and particle number emissions than comparable gasoline vehicles. The development of after-treatment systems, enhanced engine management methods and the use of renewable fuels are emerging as research strategic priorities
