Abstract

In the present energy scenario, the fossil fuel sources are fast depleting and their combustion products are causing global environmental problems. So it is inevitable to shift towards the renewable energy resources which in turn will reduce pollution levels and save fossil fuels. One possible alternative is hybrid vehicle which uses air and solar energy. Air-powered cars run on compressed air instead of gasoline and we can develop the power required to drive the compressor by using solar energy. Due to the unique and environmental friendly properties of air, it is considered as one of the future fuels which will run the vehicles. Hence the authors made an attempt to make the hybrid vehicle as a cheaper and beneficial alternative as compared to hydrogen engines, and bio-diesel engines. Nevertheless, the compressed air vehicle will contribute in reducing urban air pollution in the long run. So, in this paper an effort is made to study the design of air compressed vehicle by modified Hero Honda CD100 engine.
