Vehicle Management Program

Matriculation Number: 7213424

Project Description

This project implements a Java program that manages different types of vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and hybrid vehicles (HybridV). The program demonstrates object-oriented principles such as inheritance, abstract methods, and class hierarchies.

Class Hierarchy:

1. Engine Class:
   • Base class for different types of engines (CombustionEngine, ElectricEngine, HybridEngine).
2. Manufacture Class:
   • Stores information about the manufacturer (name, country).
3. Vehicle Class:
   • Abstract class representing a vehicle with an abstract method ShowCharacteristics().
   • Subclasses:
     • ICEV (Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle)
     • BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle)
     • HybridV (Hybrid Vehicle)
4. Main Class (VehicleManager):
   • Creates and manages an array of Vehicle objects and displays their characteristics.

Development Environment

• Java Version: OpenJDK 11
• IDE: IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1 / Eclipse / Visual Studio Code
• Operating System: Windows 10 / Linux Ubuntu 20.04

How to Run the Program

1. Clone the repository from GitHub.
2. Compile and run the VehicleManager.java file.
3. The characteristics of each vehicle (ICEV, BEV, HybridV) will be displayed in the console.

Files

• Manufacture.java: Class for the manufacturer details.
• Vehicle.java: Superclass with subclasses ICEV, BEV, HybridV.
• VehicleManager.java: Main class to demonstrate vehicle characteristics.
