to invent a brand new air-powered hybrid. The 'Hybrid Air' system uses compressed air to move the car's wheels when driving under 43 mph. Peugeot said the new hybrid system should get up to 141 miles per gallon of gas. Models were claimed to start rolling out as early as 2016 . However, the head of the project left Peugeot in 2014 and in 2015 the company said it had been unable to find a partner to share the development costs, effectively ending the project. "Ku:Rin" named air-compressed three-wheeler vehicle was created by Toyota in 2011. The speciality about this vehicle is it has registered a record-breaking highest speed 129.2 km/h (80 mph) even if it has engine which uses only compressed air. This car was developed by the company's "Dream car workshop". This car is nicknamed as "sleek rocket", or "pencil shaped rocket". As part of the TV-show Planet Mechanics, Jem Stansfield and Dick Strawbridge converted a regular scooter to a compressed air moped. This has been done by equipping the scooter with a compressed-air engine and air tank. In 2010, Honda presented the Honda Air concept car at the LA Auto Show. Since 2008 the former Bosch Rexroth, now Emerson is organizing the Emerson’s International AVENTICS Pneumobile Competition in Eger, Hungary. It is a competition for students in the higher education to build racing vehicles propelled by compressed air. There is an international conference related to the event organized by Óbuda University, Department of Bánki Donát Mechanical and Safety Engineering. Trains, Trams, Boats and Planes Compressed-air locomotives are a kind of fireless locomotive and have been used in mining and tunnel boring. Various compressed-air-powered trams were trialled, starting in 1876. In Nantes and Paris Mekarski system trams ran in regular service for over 30 years.

Historically certain torpedoes were propelled by compressed-air engines.
