The Air Car - Set to revolutionize city driving

After ten years of research and development of pollution-free engines and cars powered by compressed air, MDI launches Compressed Air Technology systems © : C.A.T's ©(*). The Series 34 CAT´s engines can be equipped with and run on dual energies - fossil fuels and compressed air - maintaining a zero-pollution emission in the city at speeds up to 60 km/h.

Mr. Guy Nègre, is the creator of the compressed air engine and formed Moteur Developpment International (MDI) in 1991. The MDI headquarters are located in Luxembourg while the prototype factory is in the south of France, where 60 people are employed.   MDI also has a Department of International Commercial Expansion in Barcelona.
 
MDI's compressed-air driven car is one of the best alternatives for non-polluting urban transport. Given that its motive power comes from expansion of pure air - and not combustion - the exhaust consists of clean air at a temperature of 15 degrees Celcius. This important environmental advantage is combined with economic ones: a cost for urban driving of less than 1 Euro per 100 kilometres, or less than 1 tenth the cost of a petrol-driven automobile.

The environmental advantages of the compressed-air engine mean that various public bodies, in Spain and worldwide, are interested in the Aircar for their cities. The government of Catalonia has recently visited the existing factory near Nice and is regularly updated with developments. Various municipalities in Spain, e.g. Onil (Alicante) Playa de Aro (Gerona) and Salobrena (Granada) have sent their environmental officers to negotiate the purchase of vehicles for their municipal fleets and the possible situating of an MDI factory in their neighbourhood. Other countries such as Italy, China, South Africa, Israel, Cuba and France have shown much interest and sent their representatives to the factory in Nice or to the commercial centre in Barcelona.

Spain is a enthusiastic supporter of the project and was the first country in the world to distribute manufacturing licences for the car, to become a seat for worldwide expansion.

The car is better known in Spain than in France, where the concept was born.  Up to present they have 16.000 cars ordered in Spain with a total value of 150 million Euros.
