ABSTRACT:
An air intake apparatus for supplying air to an internal combustion engine, comprises a unitary hollow enclosure, a motor vehicle battery, an air filter and an air compressor which when activated compresses air supplied to the engine. The enclosure houses the battery, air filter and compressor. An engine air supply path through the enclosure passes from an air inlet to the enclosure to an air outlet from the enclosure via the air filter. The enclosure inlet and enclosure outlet define respectively an upstream end of the air supply path and a downstream end of the air supply path. The apparatus includes an automatic air bypass within the enclosure that directs air in the air supply path to the air compressor when this is activated, and which allows air to in the air supply path to bypass the air compressor when this is not activated.
