A Review on Air Compressed Vehicles

The major problem faced by entire world is the global climate change. One of the major contributions of the emissions is from vehicles. So there is a need to move from the use of conventional fuels to non-conventional fuels. One such alternative fuel is compressed air. This e is clean fuel, simple and safe which do not cause any adverse effect on environment. This paper deals with the study of compressed air as a fuel for running a vehicle. Compressed air filled by electrical energy using a compressor. The electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered while computing overall efficiency. The air engine is currently the most generally used device to convert potential energy of compressed air into mechanical energy. Nevertheless the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment. No combustion process is occurring there. Light utility vehicles are becoming very popular means of independent transportation for short distances.
