March 19, 2007. Many engineers have met has been trying for years to create a compressed air car market, believing strongly that compressed air can power a viable “zero pollution” car. Now the first commercial compressed air car is on the verge of production and beginning to attract considerable attention, and recently signed partnership with Tata, India’s largest car manufacturer, the prospects of very cost-effective mass production is now a distinct possibility . The MiniC.AT is a simple, light urban car, with a tubular chassis that is glued not welded and a body of fiberglass. The heart of electronic and communication system for the car is a computer that offers a series of information reports that extends well beyond the speed of the vehicle, and is built to integrate with external systems and almost anything you could dream of, starting with voice recognition, Internet, GSM telephone, a guidance system GPS, fleet management systems, emergency systems, and of course every form of digital entertainment.
The engine is fascinating, as is the revolutionary electrical system that uses only one cable and so is the vehicle of wireless control system. Micro used in each device in the car, so a small radio transmitter sends instructions to the lights, indicators, etc. Most importantly, 68 miles / hour Aircar is extremely cost-efficient to run – according to the designers, the cost is less than one euro per 100 kilometers (about one tenth that of gasoline cars). The mileage is about double that of most advanced electric car (200 to 300 km or 10 hours driving), a factor which makes it an ideal choice for cities, where 80% of drivers drive less than 60 km.
