LITERATURE REVIEW
Theme 1- Technology and innovation in business environment
According to that Norman & Verganti, (2014) Emerging technology and innovation is
essential in the business environment. Technology can help to business innovative and achieve
the success. Technology and innovation is the best tool in the business for the success. Invention
1

and technologies modification nearly every aspect of the economy. Changes in technological can
be impact on business environment. Changing technology can improve the procedure of products
and services as well as make the new goods. This can help to expand the profits and market share
of business. Enterprises are under pressured to keep up with ever changing technology
advancements. Businesses are operated shift from their traditional way of operation and
administration to the modern in terms of technology oriented mode of transaction which means
to as digital transformation disruption.
As per the view of Mowery & et.al., (2015) innovation, companies who actively look and
action upon the chances for modification through invention in large volatile business
environment can not only survive but also successfully gesture in the difficult of the economic
situations. Therefore, organizations can utilise invention as technical and strategical tool to
evolve quick invention culture and effective procedure of business. It will allow them to
accomplish particular result of business like increasing their return on investment to shareholder,
accomplishing business growth and objectives, raising the productiveness as well as profits,
enhance market share and quickly responding to outside challenges through improving human
and technical resource to do thing differently.
Theme 2- Concept of Compressed Air Car (CAC)
As per the view of Crespi & Dutrénit, (Eds.). (2014) Compressed Air Car is the transport
mechanism which utilises motor powered by compressed air. The car can be given solely by air
or combined with petrol, diesel, ethanol or electric plant with reproductive braking. Various
technologies involving compressed air engine, air tank energy density and so on. Compressed air
car is technology and innovation itself. This technology can be emission-free at the waste. The
source of technology is the energy that is usually electricity, its total environmental impact
depends on clean the source of this electricity is. It is the also called as Pneumatic Cars. It is
proved the application of compressed air as source of energy and non-polluting fuel in driving an
automobile. It is the compressed air vehicle powered by air engine utilising compressed air that
is stored in tank. It is to drive composer with hot expanding gases rather than mixing fuel with
air and burning. It is difficult to think that compressed air can be utilised to drive vehicles. Still,
it is called air car which caught attention of investigator worldwide. Although it appears to be an
environmentally friendly solution which one must consider its well to wheel efficiency.

As per view of Zhang & et.al., (2016) compressed air cars is also called as air powered
engine which have many advantages such as no utilization of petrol or other bio carbon based
fuel and decrease the costs of vehicle production. The advantage of compressed air cars is to low
self-discharge and expansion of lower temperature of compressed air as well as remove the risky
chemicals such as battery metals. It is the beneficial for refuelling can be done home but filling
the tanks to full pressures will need compressors for 250-300 bars that are not generally available
for home standard usage and considering the danger built-in at these level of pressures.
In analysed that Wasbari & et.al., (2017) compressed air have many disadvantages which
is not good for businesses like due to inherent has loss, stages of energy conversion and
transmission. The power plant's electricity is transmissible to the mechanical device that
mechanically compresses air into tank of car. The air compressed vehicle can be probably run on
petrol and this gas can produce pollution when burned. Air compressor at the gas station can
likely be powered by electricity. Therefore, air car is not quite pollution free still it shows
improvement over one of the most popular hybrid cars on the market.
Theme 3- Future of Compressed Air Car
In order to that de Boer & et.al., (2014) This technology does sound very good which is
similar than fuel cell vehicles and electric cars. There are no tailpipes emissions. The issue is that
compressing air is not very efficient in which lot of electrical energy utilised to run mechanical
device is lost as heat. There are highly optimistic assumptions the compressed air car is
importantly less expeditious than battery electric vehicle and produces more greenhouse gas
emission instead of conventional gas that powered car with coal modifier power mix. Still,
pneumatic oxidation hybrid is practical application feasible, low-budget and can finally compete
with hybrid electric vehicles. The life cycle analysis of the compressed air car which
demonstrated CAC fared worse instead of BEV (battery electric vehicle) in particular energy
required, green house gas emission and life style costs.
According to that Liu & Wang, (2015) compressed air is important components for
improving the existing technology as technology factor in the future time. There are many modes
compressed air which is changing technology and resolving the issues. It can be useful due to
raise the effect of climate changes and considerable dependence on fossil fuels. People are
always looking for sustainable energy usage options. The first air cars can air compressors built
3

into them. Companies are able to take car home put it into the garage and plug in the mechanical
devices. It can utilise air from around the car to refill the compressed air tank.
