  3. Abstract:
  4. Development of hybrid cars is the most popular subject among automotive engineers both in production and research. The need for service passenger cars, like taxies and governmental vehicles, to work in central Tehran that produce less emission has been the main drive behind this paper. A parallel hybrid pneumatic vehicle based on Iran manufactured Samand passenger car was developed using commercially available components. The idea is to use as many standard components as possible to reduce development and manufacturing costs. The vehicle space and weight limitations and fixed geometry have been the main constraint in adoption of the components. In this design the 75 kW engine of the Samand is replaced by the 52 kW engine of Pride, another Iranian manufactured car, and it is combined with an air compressor. The system performance was simulated with different air tank capacities. Calculations and performance evaluation of the designed vehicle show that the vehicle succeeds to satisfy the requirements set by Tehran driving cycle, maximum speed and gradeability
