Cars running on nothing but air could soon start rolling up emissions-free mileage here in the United States.
Developed by a former Formula One engineer at the European MDI corporation, the air car is already a working prototype of a personal vehicle utilizing compressed air propulsion. After a round of alleged deals with the Indian Tata motors and various Japanese automakers, MDI has recently licensed the technology to the New York-based Zero Pollution Motors, which plans to build a 6-seat version of the air car. The company is even eyeing the American market with a price target of less than $18,000 for the initial model delivered in 2010.
