The simplest way to reduce carbon dioxide and other emissions from buses is to use less fuel and to electrify small passgener cars. The Vulcanaer system reduces fuel usage in urban buses & electric vehicles by harvesting braking energy and storing it as compressed air for subsequent use. Vulcanaer is a retrofit technology so can easily be applied to older buses and can be used by bus fleet operators with no government subsidy. With the aid of the newly developed electronic control, the project aim is to confirm fuel savings- expected to be 5-10%, through application to an urban bus in India and running it on a real, bus route for several weeks. The technology will also be applied to the small electric vehicles to improve the traction control and provide a cost effective cool air supply in place of more expensive and energy intensive air conditioning. If successful, the project will reduce fuel usage for every single bus and electric vehicle it is installed on, and so reduce costs to users and operators, and lead to new manufacturing jobs in India (and potentially in the UK) and provide a real contribution to cleaner air in cities.

减少二氧化碳和其他总线排放的最简单方法是使用较少的燃料并使小型Passgener汽车电气化。 Vulcanaer系统通过收集制动能量并将其作为压缩空气储存，以减少城市公共汽车和电动汽车中的燃料使用量，以供随后使用。 Vulcanaer是一种改造技术，因此可以轻松地应用于较旧的公共汽车，可以由没有政府补贴的公交车队运营商使用。在新开发的电子控制的帮助下，该项目的目的是确认节省燃料，预计将是5-10％，通过在印度的城市巴士上施加并在真正的公交路线上运行数周。该技术还将应用于小型电动汽车，以改善牵引力控制，并提供成本有效的凉爽空气供应，以替代更昂贵和能源密集型的空调。如果成功的话，该项目将减少安装安装的每辆公共汽车和电动汽车的燃料使用情况，从而降低用户和运营商的成本，并导致印度（可能在英国）的新制造业就业机会，并为城市中较清洁的空气提供真正的贡献。
