An energy conversion system is provided configured to be installed on a vehicle (1), preferably a car, such that a movably mounted surface (2) of the energy conversion system is exposed to the air resistance force acting on the vehicle (1), when the vehicle is moving. The movably mounted surface (2) is connected to a frame (3) that can be fixedly attached to the chassis of the vehicle (1) such that the movably mounted surface (2) being exposed, in use, to a generally variable air resistance force can reciprocate in a sliding manner. Within the frame (3) the movably mounted surface (2) rests on at least one deformable piezoelectric element (4a, 4b) that defines a rest position of the movably mounted surface (2) relative to the frame (3). When the vehicle (1) is moving, an air resistance force acts on the energy conversion system installed thereon and the movably mounted surface (2) thereof resting on the at least one deformable piezoelectric element (4a, 4b) causing a mechanical deformation of the at least one deformable piezoelectric element (4a, 4b). The mechanical deformation of the at least one piezoelectric element (4a, 4b) produces electrical energy that can be stored, for instance, in an optional battery (5) of the energy conversion system.
