The Car That Runs on Air

The technology of the internal combustion engine is almost 200 years old. Isn't it about time to reinvent how we power our vehicles? Hybrids are great but they still require the burning of fossil fuels (although more efficiently). A French company believes they have found a solution in using a true renewable resource, air.

Compressed air technology allows for engines that are both non polluting and economical. After ten years of research and development, MDI is prepared to introduce its clean vehicles onto the market. Unlike electric or hydrogen powered vehicles, MDI vehicles are not expensive and do not have a limited driving range. MDI cars are affordable and have a performance rate that stands up to current standards. To sum it up, they are non-expensive cars that do not pollute and are easy to get around cities in.

It's definately a huge step. The car looks so brittle and fragile, though. Almost like those toy cars you see little toddlers driving.
Soon, I am sure they will find a way to make it a bit bigger and nicer. Surely they focused a lot on the making the car look cute, because if they made that car and it turned out to be really ugly, people would be unninterested and they wouldn't give it a chance.

Although, you can't really depend on France for making big cars, can you?
