The aim of this paper is to develop a zero turning vehicle. Instead of operating by gear system, we are using pneumatic system for operation of this vehicle. Replacing two wheel drive by four wheel drive makes more convenient for the vehicle to take the turn. Conventional steering involve either the Ackerman or Davis steering system which has major disadvantage that it can't take minimum radius turn. We try to solve the problem of turning radius by new concept of zero turning vehicle with mechanical linkages and pneumatic cylinders. The main purpose of this project is to reduce the turning radius and turning space by rotating at same place without leaving its centre of gravity. In this system, the wheels connected to the front axles are turned opposite to each other, and so are the wheels connected to the rear axle. The wheels on the on left half vehicle rotate in one direction and the ones on the right half of the vehicle. To overcome problem like vehicle maneuvering on narrow roads and during parking this system has been proposed.
