The study analyses effect of additional »in-wheel« electric motors on fuel consumption of vehicle Renault Twingo. Driving parameters are intruduced for a randomly chosen driving cycle. Study shows a drive with an internal combustion engine with and without additional electric motors. Average fuel consumption for drive without electric motors totals 6,924 l/100km and 2,519 l/100km for drive with use of electric motors. Study also shows calculations of saved energy during regenerative breaking when electric motors are used. Electric motors burned 3914,3 kJ od energy and 1046 kJ was saved with help of regenerative breaking.
