Abstract
A project for upgrading conventional cars to hybrid electric vehicles is presented. The project is carried out by four Italian partners within a EU project financed by the LIFE programme. Hybridisation to a through the road parallel hybrid structure is obtained by integration of wheel motors in rear wheels, the addition of an additional battery, of flexible photovoltaic panels and a Vehicle Management Unit. The technical aspects related to vehicle conversion and the results of test bench and road tests on first prototypes are presented and discussed, as well as the perspectives related to the industrialization of such system.
