- Environmental awareness is being fostered in every sector, with particular emphasis on the automotive industry. Conventional internal combustion engines are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and health issues. Researchers are looking for alternative technologies to reduce carbon footprint and for a green environment. In this study, electric drivetrain is designed for 20% range extension and retrofitted in conventional two-wheeler. An effective control technique has been developed, thoroughly tested, and effectively implemented on the two-wheeler. The hybrid drivetrain architecture is assessed for complexities such as the required space for the battery and the location for fitting the electric motor. During low-speed conditions, the electric motor reduced the emissions and minimized fuel consumption. Consequently, the overall utilization of internal combustion engines at low-speed conditions has decreased, leading to a decrease in the vehicle's fuel consumption and exhaust gases.
