Hybrid compressor

Featuring an engine different from the system used in regular hybrid cars, the Hybrid Compressor Concept Car runs on an electric motor and not petrol. The electric motor moves the engine and air compressor helps to move the pistons. This way, engine speed depends on the speed of the ingoing air pressure pushing the piston. The ingoing air moves in accordance to the movement of the piston via the ECU, maintaining at gear 5 speed. From the test drive, it was found that the maximum speed achievable is 40 km/h. The engine does not use the radiator cooling system.
