OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A vehicular power train system, comprising:
at least two independent motors;
a first motor in said at least two independent motors is an electric motor, and a second motor in said at least two independent motors is a pneumatic motor;
at least one removable battery pack, wherein each battery pack in said at least one removable battery pack is disposed in a lower storage compartment of a vehicle, wherein each storage compartment includes an internal cavity for housing said at least one removable battery pack and a fold-down sealing protection cover;
said at least one removable battery pack configured to provide electric energy to the electric motor;
said lower storage compartment having a pair of electrical connection prongs complemental to each battery pack in said at least one removable battery pack, wherein each pair of electrical connection prongs includes a positive prong and a negative prong that engages with a female electrical engagement means on each battery in said at least one removable battery pack;
said pneumatic motor is coupled to a plurality of alternators or generators, wherein said plurality of alternators or generators generate electrical energy for said electric motor and said at least one removable battery pack when said pneumatic motor engages with each alternator or generator in said plurality of the alternators or generators;
at least one carbon fiber tank for storing compressed air, wherein said at least one carbon fiber tank is coupled to said pneumatic motor to feed a supply of compressed air to said pneumatic motor when activated, thereby engaging with said plurality of alternators or generators and generating electrical energy for said electric motor and said at least one removable battery pack;
wherein said electric motor is a primary motor configured to propel a vehicle, and said second motor is a secondary motor configured to provide rotational energy to said plurality of alternators or generators, wherein at least one alternator or generator in said plurality of alternators or generators is configured to provide electrical power to said electrical motor;
wherein the vehicular power system is disposed at an underside of said vehicle; and
said at least one rechargeable battery pack is installed in said lower storage compartment, wherein said lower storage compartment is located under a truck's flatbed and attached to said truck's chassis.
