As of today, July 2009, no air cars are on the market yet. There is however a French company, MDI, that has its prototypes, after 15 years of research and development, ready for final tests at the Air France air line facilities this summer. Their first model, the Airpod, is expected to be massproduced from end of 2009 on, in France and Andorra and in 2010 in Switzerland and probably elsewhere also. Zero Pollution Motors ltd intends to build and sell MDI compressed air cars in the USA from 2010 on. Up to now, more than 50 licenses for local MDI plants have been sold all over the world. Tata Motors of India has bought early 2007 the rights to use the MDI engine for whatever purpose it chooses (in cars, as power generator etc...), but only in India. It intends to market a version of its Tata Nano with a compressed air engine, but has not put forward a date. Meanwhile, Tata Motors continues improving the air engine in cooperation with MDI engineers on a regular basis.

Working principle of air powered car?
It works on compressed air. Air is Compressed by Air Compressor. Then compressed Air is passed on vehicle moving attachment. Then due to that Car is move...... . By Purvesh Dodia
Car runs on compressed air ppt?
no
Do car's need wheels?
No for they can use compressed air to 'levitate'
How is compressed air used in stopping the trains?
Compressed air is used in train braking systems to activate brakes on each train car simultaneously. When the engineer initiates braking, compressed air is released from the locomotive, causing the brakes to engage on each car through the train's air brake system, stopping the train.
Is there a hybrid compressed air car with range of 500 miles?
No, not yet.
Where do we see air being compressed in our everyday life?
We see air being compressed in everyday life when using air compressors for inflating car tires, basketballs, or bicycle tires. Additionally, air is compressed in household appliances like air conditioner systems and refrigerators.
What does a compressor on a car do?
It compressed the refrigerant. It may also have an air compressor if the vehicle has an air ride system.
What air do we put in tires Car tires air?
In standard cars is it simply compressed air. The same mixture we breathe.
What are air compressed cars?
Air compressed cars are cars powered by compressed air. A compresser is used to generate high pressure air, and that air is then in turn used to propell the car. An electric engine and or a gas engine is still needed to run the compresser but unlike hybrids and other combination vehicles the air compressed cars use either of these engins to power the compressor only.
Do you use compressed air or oil to do leak down test on a car engine?

Is there a car powered by compressed air?
yes, and it goes up to 80 miles an hour
Where is the compressed air car now?
The compressed air car idea was scraped. There is a good reason for this and it's called the law of conservation of energy. Basically, the air powered engines could not sustain enough power to run a compressor and power a vehicle at the same time. They were FAR to inefficient in air consumption as compared to air compression.
