Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) promises an "Air Car" by late 2009

A vehicle that runs on Compressed Air Technology (C.a.t.) developed by Motor Development International (MDI), is being brought to the United States by Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM). With a delivery date around the end of 2009, the Air Car will go 90 mph, carry six people, recharge from an outlet or compressed air tank, and cost around $17,000. This You Tube video gives an introduction to the Air Car.

Although the Air Car has been featured in the media many times, I somehow missed it until today.

• The Air Car won one of Time Magazine’s “Best Inventions of the Year” for 2007.
• Tata Group, India's largest auto maker, has licensed compressed air technology from MDI.
• Air Car inventor, Guy Negre. was interviewed in this Discovery Channel video which features the Air Car.
