Remember our story about a car that runs on air?If you do, than you already know the vehicle’s electrical system is revolutionary and is developed by French Moteur Development International.Tata Motors has signed an agreement with Moteur Development International (MDI) of France to develop a car that runs on compressed air, thus making it very economical to run and be almost totally pollution free.Although there is no official word on when the car will be commercially manufactured for India, reports say that it will be sooner than later.The car -- MiniCAT -- could cost around Rs 350,000 (about 8000$) in India and would have a range of around 300 km between refuels. The cost of a refill would be about Rs 90 (about 2$).So A car that runs on air could soon be a reality for Indians.Click hete to see the original Air Car story.
