80% reduction in fuel costs: aerodynamic cars are no longer distant

80% reduction in fuel costs: aerodynamic cars are no longer distant

PSA Peugeot Citroen Group has publicly demonstrated using compressed air instead of current to act as petrol's supporting aerodynamic vehicle


The internal structure of the "air engine", which can reduce the gasoline cost of an ordinary driver by 45%

If a high gasoline bill has frustrated you and you dream of a fresh air-powered car, your prayers will soon be answered. The French auto giant Peugeot Citroen Group believes that they can make aerodynamic vehicles on the road in 2016. The company’s scientists said that this kind of car can reduce the gasoline bill of an ordinary car owner by 45%. When driving a car in town, the cost can be reduced by as much as 80% because four-fifths of the time the car will be driven by air.

The system uses a conventional internal combustion engine, a special hydraulic press and an adaptive gearbox, and uses a compression cylinder to store and release energy. So that it can use gasoline or air alone, or it can be combined with both. Aerodynamics will be used only in cities. It will start automatically when the speed is less than 43 miles (69.20 kilometers) per hour. "This system can be used 60 to 80 percent of the time in the city." According to the company’s forecast, by 2020, the average car will be able to travel 117 miles (188.29 kilometers). Air compression systems can re-use energy that is normally lost during deceleration and braking. The engine and a pump are located in the engine compartment and they are powered by a compressed air cylinder located under the car.

For hybrid vehicles, this revolutionary new "mixed-gas" engine system (the first system to combine gasoline with compressed air) is a major breakthrough because it does not require expensive batteries. A car equipped with a hybrid gas system will cost about £1,000 ($1,582.28) less than an existing hybrid. For more than two years, 100 elite scientists and engineers have been studying aerodynamic vehicles in the top-notch environment of the Peugeot Research Center in Velez, southern Paris.

Hybrid Air is the top priority of Peugeot CEO Philip Varan in his efforts to reverse the fate of this historic automaker. This revolutionary system can be installed on any conventional home car without changing the shape or size of the car. Even if the spare tire is not stored there, the size of the protective cover does not need to be reduced. From an external point of view, an aerodynamic car will be the same as a regular car.

A spokesperson said: "We are not talking about grotesque and crazy machinery. These will be applied to everyday cars." Peugeot publicly displayed its prototype aerodynamics on the 21st and envisaged the first to be smaller at 208 et al. The system is used on cars. The company said that apart from being more environmentally friendly and cheaper, the aerodynamic system will not increase the risk of collision. When the driver is driving on deserted country roads late at night, there is no need to worry about using light to compress the air, as the car will have a sophisticated artificial brain to ensure that it can automatically replenish the air. Through air compression and decompression, the speed of the car can be adjusted to accelerate or decelerate it.

In addition to this innovative aerodynamic vehicle, Peugeot has also announced plans to launch large-scale automobiles, such as the Peugeot 508 and Citroen C5. With the use of new materials such as lightweight steel structures and aluminum composite materials, fuel costs will be reduced by 20%. They will also carry out other innovations, such as the use of electric power steering systems instead of hydraulic power steering systems, and the use of new tires to reduce friction.

These systems will all be introduced this year. The first car with these features will be a replacement for the Citroen C4 Picasso produced at the company's Spanish Vigo plant and will replace the 308 made by Sochaux in France. At a ceremony attended by French politicians and business leaders, when the Peugeot company took off the cover on the prototype, the surroundings became silent.

These innovations are a key factor in the company’s chairman of the board, Philippe Vallan, who hopes to save the poor car manufacturer. Due to the crisis in southern European markets such as Italy, Portugal and Spain, the company is in trouble. The French economy was also hard hit by the single currency crisis. It has lost its reputation as the best rating. Socialist President François Hollande has already been ridiculed internationally for his intention to impose additional taxes on the rich.
