Lightweight hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have gained significant attention as an environmentally friendly and efficient mode of transportation. However, their energy storage systems (ESS) often face challenges such as limited battery lifespan, inadequate power delivery during peak demand, and inefficient energy recovery during braking. This research focuses on the development and experimental evaluation of a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) integrating Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) and Electric Double-Layer Capacitors (EDLC) for a lightweight HEV. The hybrid system combines the high energy density of LIBs for sustained power delivery with the superior power density of EDLCs to handle transient power demands and regenerative braking efficiently. The study encompasses the design of the HESS architecture, implementation of a dynamic power management strategy, and the fabrication of a lightweight HEV prototype. Experimental investigations are conducted under various load and driving conditions, including acceleration, cruising, and braking scenarios, to assess energy efficiency, system reliability, and durability. Results demonstrate that the hybrid configuration significantly enhances power delivery, reduces battery stress, improves regenerative braking efficiency, and extends the overall operational life of the ESS. This research underscores the potential of HESS in addressing the performance limitations of lightweight HEVs, providing a scalable and efficient solution for sustainable transportation. Future work will focus on refining the system through advanced control algorithms and exploring its applicability in other vehicle categories.

Keywords: Lightweight hybrid electric vehicles, hybrid energy storage system, Lithium-ion batteries, electric double-layer capacitors, regenerative braking
