The Illinois Institute of Technology designed and built a Hybrid Electric Power-Assist Vehicle out a 1991 Saturn SL2. The standard engine was replaced by a smaller Geo Metro internal combustion engine and a GE electric motor and controller. The goal was to build a car that was simple, reliable and competitive. This paper outlines the Hybrid Electric Vehicle design by the Illinois Institute of Technology (HEV) team. The approach was to utilize 3 main components, A Suzuki (Geo Metro) 3-cylinder engine, a Suzuki 3 speed automatic transmission and a General electric DC shunt motor and controller. IIT had been successful in the past by keeping their designs simple, which ensured both the reliability of and competitiveness of the vehicle. Thus, the goal for this year`s competition was to keep the car simple, reliable and competitive.
