The Air Car is a six passenger, multi-use commuter vehicle being developed by European firm MDI. It runs entirely on compressed air.
The vehicle may soon be available in the United States, company officials say, and they're promoting it as a viable alternative at a time of rising gas prices.
Designed for use as a family car, mini-delivery van and taxi, the Air Car has an estimated range of 124 to 186 miles (100-300 kilometers) on a charge of compressed air. It has a top speed of 68 mph (110k/hr). Recharging the tank takes about 4 hours.
The Air Car's built-in compressor can be powered by any electricity source. It's builders tout the fact that one need not worry about battery life. The expansion of air drives the engine's pistons.
