A vehicle air compressor apparatus is provided for a heavy vehicle air braking system. The apparatus comprises a crankcase, and a cylinder head disposed on the crankcase. The cylinder head includes (i) an air inlet port through which air can be received for compression within the crankcase and the cylinder head, (ii) a discharge port through which compressed air can be delivered from the cylinder head, (iii) a first port through which compressed air can pass, and (iv) a second port through which cooled compressed air can pass. The apparatus further comprises a discharge air cooling jumper connected externally of the cylinder head between the first and second ports. The jumper is arranged to cool compressed air passing from the first port through a discharge air path of the jumper to the second port to provide cooler compressed air to be delivered from the cylinder head through the discharge port.
