The First Air Car to Hit the Market

Car manufactures have been battling harder than ever. The battle has been over who can create the most economical vehicles. Hybrid cars are currently the biggest thing to have and own. They are incredibly fuel efficient and offer owners a solution to the rising gas costs. Gas is nearing $3.00 at a drastic pace in the Northeast. Experts are stating that it is only going to get a lot worse over the next year. This is why consumers are begging car companies to develop vehicles that can help them save more money. One company in France has created one of the most unique concepts in a long time. In fact, the concept could change the visions of several large car manufacturers around the world.

The hybrid is about to be old news. Consumers believe that fuel cells are the next solution. This is not really the case. How about a zero-emissions vehicle that runs on compressed air? Most people would say that this is impossible. The fact that technology is constantly advancing at an amazing rate makes this very possible. MDI of France has announced that its Air Car will debut in India and France in late 2008

The Air Car was invented by CEO and founder Guy Negre. Over time, various models will be introduced offering 2-, 4-, 6-cylinder engines at prices ranging from $4,800 to $12,900. The OneCat will be the first model introduced to the market. OneCat can fit up to 5 passengers and can go as far as 500 miles on the highway with only one fill-up. The car can also go as fast as 68 mph. Negre is working on ways in which the vehicle will be able to go more quickly in the future. He understands that there is a need for faster and more powerful cars in our society.

All you have to do is plug in the car at home. The car comes equipped with a built-in-compressor. OneCat's compressor will refill the tank in just under four hours. This is a rather quick refill. A lot of excitement has been created with the arrival of the Air Car. Manufactures are rushing to Negre to find out how he did it and how they can do it themselves. This is great news for car drivers in the United States. When interest is drawn from the large car manufactures, it offers us a greater chance of seeing the vehicle hit our market.

The pricing of the Air Car is another area that excited consumers. At a average price of $8,000, the car seems to be a steal. The only issue might be that some people simply do not want to go through the hassle of charging their vehicles on a daily basis. I believe this to be only a minor problem when you factor in that you might be saving thousands of dollars yearly. Keep your ears and eyes active. You might be seeing this car in the United States very soon.
