MDI car compressed air.
proposé par brandy
This company has designed a compressed air car.

This technology solves the problem of the weight of the batteries used in standard electrical cars.

Of course this solution is not perfect. It all depends on the source of energy used to produce the electricity needed to pressurise the air (renewable or non-renewable) and compressed air systems are known to be not very energy efficient.

It seems that the Indian company Tata is interested by the project. With a very light car and without batteries to recycle, this technology could interest Third World countries.
