A rescue vehicle adapted for driving in tunnels, mines or at oxygen-poor high altitudes comprises a Diesel engine, a first conduit connected to the engine for supplying ambient air to the engine, bottles of compressed air carried on the vehicle, a second conduit connecting the bottles of compressed air to the engine for supplying the air to the engine, and a switching arrangement for selectively interrupting the flow of the ambient air from the first conduit to the engine when the air is supplied to the engine through the second conduit and for interrupting the flow of air through the second conduit to the engine when the ambient air flows to the engine through the first conduit. |
