MADE IN INDIA , NOW, THAT'S A SWITCH. IMAGINE RUNNING A CAR ON COMPRESSED AIR @ 125 MILES FOR $2
AMAZING AIR CAR!
The Compressed Air Car developed by Motor Development International (MDI) Founder Guy Negre might be the best thing to have happened to the motor engine in years.
The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned Air Car models, can hit 68 mph and has a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor uni ts. MDI says it should cost only around $2 to fill the car up with 340 liters of air!
The Air Car will be starting production relatively soon, thanks to India 's TATA Motors. Forget corn! There's fuel, there's renewable fuel, and then there's user-renewable fuel! What can be better than air?

The six-seater taxi should be available in India this year -2008!
Now If We Can Just Get It In The USA !
an innovative new compressed air powered vehicle is currently being developed in India and should be available later in 2008. The information in the message is true. Such a car is indeed being produced by European company Motor Development International (MDI) in partnership with Indian company Tata Motors.
MDI's founder, inventor and entrepreneur, Guy Negre, is responsible for the development of the revolutionary new engine. A 2007 article about the air cars published in Popular Mechanics notes that the air car "uses compressed air, as opposed to the gas-and-oxygen explosions of internal-combustion models, to push its engine's pistons".
There are several models planned, including the CityCAT which will sell for around $12,700 and cruises along at a top speed of 68 mph. The CityCAT will be able to travel around 125 miles before it needs to be refuelled at a service station equipped with a custom air compressor unit at a cost of about $2. The car also has a built in compressor unit that uses a normal electricity outlet to refill the air tanks over about 4 hours. According to Popular Mechanics, around 6000 of the vehicles should be available in India by August, 2008.
Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM), the US representative for MDI, promises that the vehicles will be available in the United States by 2010. There are also plans to manufacture the air cars in Australia and several other countries.
Only time will tell how successful the compressed air driven vehicles will be in the long term. However, the information currently available suggests that the cars should provide a cheap, clean alternative to fossil fuel vehicles, at least for city driving, and that is good news indeed.
