Getting a car to move at respectable speeds with compressed air is hard. Very hard. Automakers have been grinding away at a car powered by compressed air for years. It’s so difficult that French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen is putting the green concept aside in favor of a hybrid, for now.
“Hybrid Air” is a concept hybrid car that uses a “compressed air tank mounted in the central transmission tunnel to turn a hydraulic motor” instead of an electric battery, according to Green Car Reports.
