Urgency of the research.Today, there is a need to provide alternative propulsion methods in the automotive industry. Compressed air is one of the alternatives to fossil fuels.Target setting.To test the possibilities of using compressed air as energy for vehicle propulsion, a competition is organized, where teams from European universities are presented under the auspices of a company producing pneumatic components. We from the Institute of Automation, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Technology and Robotics also took part in this competition twice. The results of the competition, supplemented by the presentation of a vehicle not yet implemented, are the subject of this article. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. As this is an analysis of the results achieved, the article deals with the ways in which they were achieved rather than with methods of a scientific nature. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. As this is an evaluation of the achieved results, the article does not address specific problems in the theoretical area. The results are presented for review by the reader and give room for his own assessment. The research objective. The aim of the article is to acquaint the public with the results and the ways in which they were achieved. It is also a kind of invitation for potential people interested in this issue. The statement of basic materials. The basis for the creation of the article was information from student works, the result of which were described vehicles. Conclusions. The conclusions in the article show the problems that need to be solved for the further continuation of the project, if possible with other "enthusiasts" in the field using compressed air for non-traditional purposes.
