Air pollution presents a major threat to health and climate and is responsible for death of an estimated seven million people would wide every year. This increased mortality is due to stroke, heart disease, pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and actuate respiratory injections. Thus, there is a need to utilize the non-renewable resources in a better way besides searching for alternative energy sources. The automobile industry is one of the major sectors contributing towards the air pollution. In the given scenario it is advisable to find an approach which may curb it. This paper discusses about the heating and cooling of the automobile cabin via utilization of waste heat which is released from the flue gases. The work is aimed to develop a Thermo-Electric heating and cooling system to maintain the cabin temperature within the optimum range. A prototype based on Thermo-Electric system has been fabricated and deployed to investigate the efficiency of the system. The initial result of the experiment yield encouraging results. Hence, it may be concluded that such system may have good commercial applications.
