Conveyance through an automobile has become necessity in today’s life. With millions of automobiles on road with its number ever -increasing, it not only serves purpose of transporting passengers and goods, but it has added the problems of noise and environment pollution. Owing to alarming air quality in the big cities, the authority enforces stringent emission norms. In addition, higher fuel economy standards compel automobile manufacturers to introduce costly engine technology. Energy loss during braking is considered as a major cause of the reduced fuel economy. Automobiles driven under conditions like frequent stops, long idling time, low average speed and high part load operation are experiencing low fuel economy. City bus, school bus, garbage truck, school van, shuttle rickshaw etc. are major players of similar operating conditions. Hence, it is important to estimate kinetic energy loss during braking and develop systems to harness the energy loss. The research work is oriented to estimate brake energy regeneration potential for school vans running in Vadodara city. Results show that brake energy regeneration potential of the school van is 2015 kJ during trip of approximate 10.15 km.

In today’s developing era the concern for the prevention of non-biodegradable resources has attracted researchers to develop biodegradable materials based on green principles. The fibers from agriculture waste give good advantages over conventional synthetic fibers such as low cost and density, non-toxicity and waste disposal problems. In this work banana fibers have been used as the reinforcing agent with corn starch and glycerol as the matrix to increase the effectiveness of banana fibers. The composites have been fabricated by injection moulding method followed by high speed mixing and twin screw extrusion. In this experiment mechanical and physical properties have been evaluated by changing the proportion of banana fiber and matrix material. The tensile, flexural, impact and hardness tests have been performed on newly fabricated green composites. From the results, it has been observed that the composites having greater fiber content show evidence of superior properties.

Looking at the quick depleting conventional fuel like gasoline, it becomes prime importance to conserve the same by reducing its consumption against day by day increase in number of two wheeler on road and hence emission and green house effect to be reduced.In present experimental work the electrolytic cell was developed to produce the 600 ml/hr hydroxygen flow rate and tested successfully for improved performance and emission in laboratory by utilizing the power available from alternator through the battery for electrolysis purpose. Same electrolytic cell was fitted to 100 cc 4S Bajaj bike and electric supply was arranged from inbuilt battery without any modification of existing engine. The produced hydroxygen gas was introduced in intake manifold after the carburetor.The performance was measured on road with 400 ml of gasoline on same route and same persons on bike and driver to maintain the driving style on road with and without hydroxygen as an additive. There were two persons on bike having total weight of 146.8 kg.The mileage went up to 29.54% on relative basis with hydroxygen addition from the electrolytic cell.Before and after test the battery condition was checked and found alright in case of hydroxygen as an additive mode.Keywords
