New motor with compressed air from PSA Peugeot Citroen.
Under the program, the company PSA Peugeot Citroen, to reduce the fuel consumption of their machines up to two litres per 100 kilometers by 2020, offers your vehicle with a new hybrid installation that runs on compressed air and called the Hybrid Air. Complete with an internal combustion engine and hydraulic motor and air pump with two cylinders of compressed air. The car used a special planetary transmission. Cylinders used in this design are of different pressure, one high and one low. Compressed air in the cylinder is refilled each time by braking energy recovery, with the help of a hydraulic pump. This car can travel at a speed of 70 km/h with an internal combustion engine disconnected, with only one compressed air. Now designers are refining new hybrid in terms of maximum length of drive on one air, where internal combustion engine overlapped with hydraulic motor. After certain tests, plan to launch a car in small-scale production.
