In this paper, the regenerative braking system (RBS) is implemented in the hybrid vehicle which is made to run using internal combustion engine and batteries. A regenerative brake is an apparatus, a device or a system which allows the vehicle to recapture and store some part of the kinetic energy that would be 'lost' as heat during applying brake. The total amount of energy lost in this way depends on how many times, how hard and for how long the brakes are applied. Energy lost during braking in this hybrid vehicle is used to recharge the battery. Since regenerative braking results in an additional increase in energy output for a given energy input to a vehicle, the efficiency is improved. It is used to improve the overall efficiency of the vehicle by 25% using RBS. The dynamo is fixed on the rear wheel of the vehicle which is beneficial in two ways, one that it helps to covert the kinetic energy into electrical energy and other that it controls the friction produced inside the wheel which in turn increases the life time of brake pads. Fixed at clearance angle using weld it shifts from wheel hub to wheel rim while application of brake giving more effectiveness to the vehicle.
