How does the compressed air get into the compressed air holder thingy? Probably takes a gas engine to pump it on there.

This is a hydraulic hybrid rebranded because hydraulics isn’t sexy.

It is a hybrid vehicle using a small gas engine. Rather than charging batteries via a serpentine belt turning an alternator, it would tun the compressor, filling the pressurized air tank.

If the system were perfected, I think it could improve pollution in many cities. I know that sometime here in Calgary, because we are near the Rocky Mountains, there is temperature inversion, trapping pollution over the city, leaving a brown haze over the downtown. As there is no heavy industry in the city, this pall is from vehicle exhaust. If Peugeot’s system works, it could help this city a lot. I can only imagine how bad it gets in LA.
