Abstract
A method of charging a compressed air storage tank for a vehicle increases the pressure in the storage tank from a first pressure to a second pressure. The method includes determining the first pressure according to a first detected vehicle engine load, and starting the charge cycle when the pressure detected in the storage tank is at least as low as the first pressure. The method further includes determining the second pressure according to a second detected vehicle engine load, and stopping the charge cycle when the pressure detected in the storage tank is at least as high as the second pressure.
