Air Car to bring in Winds of Change

A car running on compressed air is coming soon to stores near you and No its not a joke...

MDI, a European firm has developed the concept car which runs using compressed air propulsion.However the car still needs fuel to run efficiently ,the best part is that the mileage will more than 100 miles per gallon. The engine is based on concept called pneumatics and is similar to steam engines used in old trains. According to CNN reports"New York-based Zero Pollution Motors is the first firm to obtain a license from MDI to produce the cars in the United States, pledging to deliver the first models in 2010 at a price tag of less than $18,000."

Interestingly TATA motors have shown interest and said to have reached an agreement to refine the technology and eventually to bring in the car to Indian roads.

Will the air car bring in a the winds of change ...let's wait and watch the roads.
