Peugeot 208 HYmotion Air Concept Revealed before entry into Paris
Published January 25, 2013 after Andrew Meggison.
The hybrid car Peugeot Powered Air could hit the streets by 2016.
French automaker Peugeot has unveiled a hybrid car powered by air, Air Hybrid Concept in order to have the car on the road by 2016. The air motor is in development for over two years, more than 100 leading scientists and engineers working on the car in the air in the best secret conditions at the center of research and development of Peugeot in Vélizy, south of Paris.
The air engine system works by using a normal internal combustion engine, and a special hydraulic gearbox adapted as well as compressed air cylinders that store and release energy This allows the car to run on gas or air or a combination of both air power would be used below 43 mph the air compresses and decompresses car speeds and slows Peugeot cars could be predicted on average reach 73 mpg by 2020.
What this air motor is remove the electric motor component hybrids This eliminates the need for a larger battery, which reduces the cost, weight and the negative environmental impact from Moreover, you will not be stuck looking for a charger on some back country road While cars compressed fresh air were tried before this is the first application of a gas compressed air hybrid.
The system can be installed on a normal Peugeot car without changing its external shape, size or the trunk space if the spare wheel is removed from the outside air powered Peugeot Peugeot will be identical to a classic.
Peugeot will introduce the engine operating air in smaller models, such as the model 208 starting.

How is it possible to do, let alone do reliably, I'll have to see for myself, maybe even try to drive myself, before I'm sold on the idea.
It is similar to a hydraulic hybrid but using compressed air Most plug-in hybrid fuel economy is not so much the battery electric technology as well as the starting and stopping of the engine revolutions, when the traffic stop go c is generally why gas ev hybrids get better mpg in city driving the compressor is to use the brake to compress air.
Modern diesel engines 70mpg so what is the point and compressed air costs.
Alan Robinson I Diesel agreement may not be for everyone, but if that if I were in the market for another car, I d buy one with a diesel engine, if one is available, rather than that of compressed air.
In the US diesel and hybrid battery cost is about the same initial cost, but compressed air system is supposed to be cheaper than hybrid battery almost the same performance, if it's cheaper that ev hybrid battery should also be less than diesel.
Unfortunately, it seems to be part of the reason why we would not support the diesel as the United States is that diesel is a heavy duty more durable engine, as such, he works against car manufacturers who seem to want the consumers to buy a new car every 5 years.
I Support of diesel power in cars if more of them were produced here in the United States or even imported here, it may not be for everyone, for various reasons, but if you can t please everyone, so why try if people want diesel, they'll buy diesel.
The manufacture of the United States and many car seems out of the way not to allow imports of diesel in the US, I am too a big proponent of diesel, but the platform is involved is rigged and odds favor the house.
Since Rudolf Diesel took a ship from Antwerp to England to talk about his engine ran on peanut oil, but along the way he accidentally took a long walk off a boat and body was found drifting 10 days since at that time the oil manufacturers and car have had a great influence in the use of diesel.
The reasons manufacturers do not offer diesel cars and some trucks here in the US are long and stupid They say that people won t buy a car or truck if they knew it was powered by a These diesel engine diesel environmentalists want banned in the US because it pollutes the air because it's too noisy, and, and, and it's the same old tired excuses manufacturers have been used since the invention of the car that bothers me is that instead of listening to us, people who buy cars and trucks, listening to what we think, if we want our cars with diesel, they listen to the marketing people, they listen to environmentalists.
I do not think art exact Most super greenies I speak of love diesels because of the ease of petroleum diesel conversion to biodiesel, with all US oil subsidies there, maybe exactly the why we don t get as much diesel as we would like.
I think it's great, I'm a big fan of diesel cars, but especially here in the US, they are at a competitive disadvantage because of the high purchase cost, high cost of diesel fuel, and , as pointed out in a nearby wire, high cost of insurance.
Current hybrids, plug-in hybrids and all electric cars suffer from a disadvantage in common lithium battery is a toxic substance is dangerous and dangerous mines to eliminate At present, the world has no plan for the proper disposal of lithium batteries most of our electronics are obsolete dumped on the poor in Africa is that when our lithium wrap up well.
Air is easily compressed and the containment can be formed in a necessary form of boarding a passenger car, as the car must be designed around the size and shape of the battery, it will use.
And, at least in short bursts, the compressed air can provide a significant increase in engine power similar or even greater than that offered by the electric motor in hybrid electric trains.
The search for new and better ways to power an automobile has been going for over 100 years now s hope he never stops.
PS Peugeot made some delicious cars that are not here in North America If this innovation has led to Peugeot re-enter the US market, it would be something quite good for auto enthusiasts.
I have not seen a Peugeot in the United States since the 1980s, with the 504, the 505 and the 604, the 505 and 604 being the most beautiful of Peugeots IMHO.
Peugeot Powered Air hybrid car gas 2, Peugeot, powered, hybrid, Andrew received bachelor.
