I had already talked about the Air compressed car recently. This time acording to BusinessGreen blog by 2009-2010 this car will be available on the North American market. MDI is the US representative Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM). They said that the car will cost around $17,800. There’ll be 2 models available (3 and 6 seets).
The CityCat is running at the compressed air only at low speed (about 20 MPH). At the higher speeds the car burn a little of gasoline (still the emissions are only 0.158lbs of CO2 per mile). The engine is 75hp and the range is between 800 and 1,000 miles on a single tank of air. The engine can be can be powered by conventional petrol, ethanol, or bio-fuels. The Age says the cars can go 68 MPH and has a range of 93 miles or, if the compressed air is heated, potential ranges of thousands of miles.
