Peugeot said users will be able to reduce their gas bill by 80% while driving in the city, according to Auto Express.

The system works by using conventional combustion engines, special hydraulic equipment and gearboxes adjusted with pneumatic cylinders that store and release energy.

Machine design allows vehicles to run gasoline or air, or a combination of both.

Air energy can only be used in urban roads, is automatically activated when the vehicle runs below the speed of 70km / hour, and operates for 60 to 80% of the total running time in the city.

Reusable pneumatic systems of all energy are often lost while reducing vehicle speed or braking.
