But PSA Peugeot Citroën Launch compressed air to store energy that a car can use for propulsion. Showcased in two concepts, a Citroën C3 and a Peugeot 208, the Hybrid Air system powertrain combines air, hydraulics, and gasoline. Peugeot claims its system improves fuel economy by 35 percent and is capable of 81 mpg in the New European Drive Cycle test. A projected price of about $26,000 means the Hybrid Air would be roughly $7700 less than what a Toyota Prius costs in Europe. If Peugeot brings out the Air Hybrid in 2016 as promised, it could challenge electrical batteries as a hybrid power reservoir.
