Air powered car
Indian powerhouse Tata Motors is leading the way with the first commercial car to be powered by compressed air, called the City Cat, which will supposedly begin production this year.
The City Cat is based on high performance compressed air technology developed by MDI.
According to Engadget,
"The City Cat runs on nothing but compressed air -- which can be refueled at "air stations," and overnight using a built-in compressor -- with a not too shabby top speed of 68 MPH (110 km/h) and a range of 125 miles (200 km).
The Air Car designers are working on a hybrid version that can compress air while it's operating, potentially making cross-India journeys possible.
It's not completely emissions free travel since the problem of the source of the electricity (usually acquired from fossil fuels) has yet to be solved."
