Abstract: Based
on the investigation on present achievements and the problems of many
kinds of replacement-fuel vehicles and electric vehicles(EV), the
principle, the structure features and the zero-pollution characteristics
of the compressed air powered vehicle(CAPV) are presented and the
achievements of the CAPV are summarized. The efficiency and feasibility
of the CAPV are analyzed from the angle of energy, and the comparison of
the compressed air power with battery power and fuel power are
discussed. The CAPV is contrasted to the hydrogen fuel cell electric (HFCE)
vehicle comprehensively as well. With the tentative research in Zhejiang
University, the main contents of this project are listed. It could be
concluded that the compressed air powered vehicle is a real
zero-pollution and green car with a wide market prospect.
