Driving on Air
The Moteur Developpement International (MDI) company has produced a vehicle that uses a compressed air engine instead of traditional fuel. The idea was originally conceived in 1994 by former French formula one engineer Guy Negre. The aim was to build a low-consumption, low-pollution engine. After ten years of research and development of pollution-free engines and cars powered by compressed air, MDI will begin serial production over the coming months.

Yes, France, India, and Korea also have compressed air cars in production. |

Re: Driving on Air
No i've just been following the idea. Sounds like a good one, I could think of alot of ways to trap air pressure. I hope its real, I think so, so i signed up for one of the first cars over here as a fan and all. But even though its cheap, I probably won't be able to afford it.
