Abstract
This compressed air generation system (12) for an automotive vehicle (V) comprises: —a turbocompressor (4) feeding an internal combustion engine (2) of the automotive vehicle (V) with compressed air, —an air compressor (8), —at least one compressed air tank (10) connected to an outlet pipe (82) of the air compressor (8), the air compressor (8) comprising an inlet pipe (80) fed with compressed air from the turbocompressor (4). The compressed air generation system (12) comprises a pressure regulator (14) placed downstream the turbocompressor (4) and upstream the air compressor (8) and which limits the pressure (P8) of the compressed air fed from the turbocompressor (4) to the air compressor (8) to a first threshold (T1).
