Peugeot Revealed Air Hybrid Car
Peugeot has revealed a hybrid car that is powered by a petrol engine when cruising and compressed air while in town. It is claimed the system offers fuel savings of up to 45% while driving in town.
The new technology offers an interesting alternative to hybrid electric cars as it delivers zero tailpipe emissions in town but with none of the environmental impact associated with the production and disposal of batteries.
Peugeot plans to offer Hybrid Air as an engine option in its line-up of cars in 2016 and considers the technology a stepping stone towards its goal of creating a production car with fuel consumption of 2 l/100 km (141mpg).
