In this work, a proposal is made to transform the vw sedan vehicle into a hybrid and electric vehicle as a viable alternative, to reduce polluting emissions from combustion vehicles and the high costs that conventional fuels have managed to achieve in recent times, New structures have been implemented to improve vehicle propulsion conditions by reducing pollutants. For this reason, the option of vehicles that contain two systems to generate their operation is attractive. The option that we are going to analyze is a hybrid vehicle with a parallel arrangement, in which the electrical energy that drives it comes from batteries and alternatively from an internal combustion engine that drives a generator. Typically, an internal combustion engine can also drive the wheels directly. In the design of a hybrid car, the heat engine is the energy source that is used as last option, and an electronic system is arranged to determine which engine to use and when to use it.
