WORKING OF C.A.T. ENGINES:

WORKING OF C.A.T. ENGINES In principle the technology is very similar to the internal combustion system -compressed air is used to drive a piston in a barrel. It compress air to high pressures in a staged process. It simply reverse the process -decompress the air in stages and in so doing efficiently release energy at each point in the chain.

Exterior and Body Overall length : 151 in. Overall width : 68 in. Overall height : 69 in. Weight : 1543 lbs. Engine Mount : Rear Suspension : Front coil spring, rear pneumatic. Steering mechanism : Rack and pinion Body materials : Aluminum & fiberglass Compressed Air Tanks : Carbon Fiber

ADVANTAGES:

ADVANTAGES Zero emission vehicle. No fossil fuel required. Operating cost 75% less as compare to the gasoline engines. Price is also less then half of the electric vehicles.

ADVANTAGES:

ADVANTAGES The recharging of tank can be done at house. Light weight provides good road-holding due to low center of gravity and low energy consumption. The recharging time is much more less that EV.

DISADVANTAGE:

DISADVANTAGE It can’t give much higher speed. The recharging stations.
