The invention concerns an air intake system (1) for an internal combustion engine (2), said system comprising an air intake duct (3, 4, 6) configured to transport combustion air to the internal combustion engine (2), and a compartment (5) configured to contain an electric component (9), wherein the system (1) is configured to allow combustion air to flow through the compartment (5) so as to provide air-cooling of the electric component (9). The compartment (5) is fluidly coupled in parallel to the air intake duct (4) via a first conduit (11) connected to the air intake duct (4) at a first connection position (11 a) and a second conduit (12) connected to the air intake duct (4) at a second connection position (12a), wherein the air intake duct (4) is configured to provide a difference in potential air pressure between said first and second connection positions (11 a, 12a) during operation of the internal combustion engine (2). The invention also concerns a vehicle provided with an air intake system of the above type.
