In this research, an optimization algorithm for controlling a hybrid electric vehicle's (HEV) powertrain control and energy usage is proposed. The algorithm is used on a vehicle prototype that is created by equipping an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with an electric motor. An embedded micro-controller unit (MCU) is used in the construction of the control system. This study's primary goals are to minimize the use of ICE and increase the efficiency of electric energy consumption. The ATV's automatic transition between its internal combustion engine and electric motor is managed by the MCU. Additionally, the system provides instructions to the driver on how to effectively use the scarce resource at the crucial energy level. The driver's performance is limited through the use of pulse width modulation (PWM). To maximize the travel distance and provide optimal performance, the PWM duty cycle is modified. In this study, different driving circumstances are examined. Considerations have been made for variables including stop-and-go frequency, energy level, and travel speed. The trials revealed a notable advancement
