Análisis económico del consumo energético de un vehículo híbrido al movilizarse dentro del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito

Abstract

Currently, the automotive field has made significant progress in terms of emissions of gases that are harmful to the environment, as well as in reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. This research emphasizes the energy consumption of a hybrid vehicle (Corolla 2020 HV 1.8 SEG eCVT), in the different ways of driving and knowing the benefits that this type of vehicle provides for the user's economy. Hybrid vehicles with two propulsion systems; an internal combustion engine and an electric motor is considered sustainable mobility. Between 2020 and 2021 there is a growth in the sale of hybrid vehicles in Ecuador of 263% [1], this is due to three main factors: concern for the environment, changes in regulations and, above all, saving money. This technology has allowed fuel consumption to be between 20% and 60% lower than in comparable conventional vehicles [2].
