This paper describes about “Ultra Lightweight Vehicle (ULV) ” which is able to drive with smallest size of body and the least energy. Small size and environmental-friendly mobility is demanded from recent automobiles social conditions. Then we examined equipping the air engine as a part of the development of ULV. The result of performance test of the compressed air engine, the maximum output was 339 W, the high output area was around 800 rpm. According the above results, we developed ULV-Air (ULV-A) with the compressed air engine. The results of the running test, the maximum speed was 23.9km/h, and the distance was about 4km. Through the evaluation of the comprehensive energy utilization by exergy, we investigated for the performance improvement of air engine and ULV-A. ULV-A is expected to use at the theme park in Nagano prefecture as one of the demonstration test, with production of air by woody-biomass generation system.
