Hybrid Natural Gas Vehicle

Carleton University’s newest MAE capstone project with the aim to

further the development of natural gas in the transportation industry.

The HNGV project is led by a diverse team of lead engineers with

multi-disciplinary backgrounds and driven by 21 students from

multiple engineering departments at Carleton University.

1

Dynamometer Team

• Develop a testing bench for

engine performance

• Purpose to optimize engine

performance

2

Car Transformation Team

• Safely convert a pre-existing

vehicle to operate on

compressed natural gas

3

Home Refueling Team

• Researching innovative solutions to

personalize the process of refueling

• Design an economically feasible natural

gas compressor for home use

4

Hybrid Technologies Team

• Integration of alternative energy

sources to work alongside the

CNG engine

• Primary focus includes

integrating an electric motor

5

Eco-Shell Team

• Develop a vehicle to race in the Shell

Eco-Marathon competition

• Challenging students around the world

to build, design and drive the most

energy-efficient car

6

Autonomous Navigation Team

• Integration of an Autonomous

Navigation System (ANS)

• With the use of cameras, sonars and

sensors. ANS converts manned car into

self-driving vehicle
