The Air Car is Coming.
I’m not going to re-write th whole CNN story, but you should check it out.
Some bullet points though:
• The car would be powered by a combination of compressed air and fuel and will achieve 100+ mpg.
• Zero Pollution Motors out of New York are pledging to deliver the first models in 2010 at a price tag of less than $18,000.
• The six-seater planned for the U.S. market would be able to reach speeds of more than 90 mph and have a range of more than 800 miles thanks to a dual energy engine.
• It would run purely on compressed air when driven at speeds less than 35 mph.
• An on-board compressor would refill the air tank while the car is running, or owners could refill it by plugging it into a power outlet for four hours.
