Citycat Compressed Air Vehicles (Air Car) Coming to North America in 2010
Demand these air cars in the North American market!
Imagine driving a vehicle that:
- is powered by breathable air,
- has zero to very low C02 emissions,
- achieves over 100 miles per gallon (or equivalent energy),
- has a top speed of over 90 mph,
- has over 800 miles range ( using only 8 gallons of fuel),
- seats six, has plenty of space for luggage,
- cuts no safety corners, and
- costs no more than an average economy to mid-size vehicle.
This vehicle, the Citycat, designed by Guy Negre, the inventor of the Compressed Air Vehicle, and CEO of MDI, will be introduced in North America by Zero Pollution Motors, (ZPM). It is powered by his breakthrough Compressed Air Engine (CAE), proprietary technology protected by over 50 patents.
While driving under 35mph, the compressed air engine directly uses the compressed air stored in the tank and emits filter air. When driving above 35 mph, an external heating chamber kicks in automatically. This heating chamber expands the volume of the compressed air before it enters the engine, resulting in increased range. This chamber uses a small amount of energy – fossil fuel or biofuel - to heat the compressed air. This process emits 1/2 to 1/3 of the CO2 emissions created by today’s greenest hybrid vehicles.
At highway speeds (over 35 mph), the Compressed Air Vehicle will recompresses outside air into the air tanks while driving in order to extend the vehicle's range. (Also, air can be compressed into the tanks at any time via a regular electrical outlet, or a special compressed air filling station.)
The first U.S. production model of the Citycat compressed air vehicle (air car) will be a 4-door, 6-seat, 75hp family vehicle. It will roll off the U.S. production line in 2010 in a New York manufacturing plant operated by U.S.-based ZPM.
