Are you fed up of old toxic fumes spitting taxis, then click a picture and keep it with you because the scene may soon become history with the advent of air cars. Major cities of India will be buzzing with compressed air cars starting from this year. The air car will serve as taxis in major cities like Mumbai and Delhi. We are sure that these cars will bring down pollution level.

India will get the delivery of 6000 compressed air cars. Apart from India, other countries like Germany, Sweden and France have also placed order for these cars.

Cars to run on CAT

Here is another version of car that is going to hit Indian roads soon. With the increase in fuel prices, India is making an effort to manufacture the cars with Compressed Air Technology (CAT) and will be green in every sense. Now, CAT is little technical, let us brief you about it. This technology uses compressed air as energy storage and can be combined with hybrid gasoline/diesel or electric plant and regenerative braking.

Compressed-air vehicles are as good as electric vehicles. Advantages of this technology are that it provides high torque for minimum volume, simple mechanical engine, and easy maintenance besides; these air-bottles can be disposed or recycled. At time when the pollution became one of major problems in the country, these environmental-friendly vehicles come as boon to make the country free from pollution.

Delhi to have first car museum

We as an ancient civilization have a very rich history. But I never knew about Indian carhistory. Being a car-manufacturing hub and a large market in Asia, India does have an automobile history of its own. Here first car rolled out in 1898. Yet we never had a car museum.
Now New Delhiwill be the first to have one. It will showcase 100-year of Indian automobile history. The museum will be spread in an area of 10,000 sq yard. This museum is a brainchild of a group of vintage motoring enthusiasts. The Union Government along with prominent car makers has also chipped in with its contribution. Heritage Motoring Club of India is spearheading the project. Even a few corporate houses are learned to have nodded for sponsoring the museum.

Tata Motors want Air Cars to hit India by 2008

It is expected that about 6000 Air Cars will be cruising the streets of India by 2008. Tata Motors, India’s biggest automaker is all set for the mass production of MDI Air Car, ‘the world’s first air-powered vehicle’ in India. Tata has signed an agreement with Moteur Development International of France to develop a car that runs on compressed air. All car manufacturers in India will definitely give this phenomenon a good look.

The Air Car will be very economical to run and almost completely pollution free. Air Car might turn out to be one of the biggest technological break-throughs in this age. It was developed by Guy Negre a former Formula One engineer. Modeled as MiniCATs and CityCATs, the engines will be available with 2, 4, and 6 cylinders. These engines will be able to use gasoline, gas oil, bio-diesel, gas, liquidized gas, ecological fuel, alcohol, and so on.

This vehicle is equipped with a small computer screen instead of normal speed gauges. This system facilitates a GSM telephone system, a GPS satellite tracking system, programs for delivery people, emergency systems, internet connections, voice recognition, map presentation, traffic information, etc.

MiniCAT will come with a seating capacity of three and minimal boot space. While the CityCAT will be more spacious with six seats which can be faced on different directions. The MiniCAT could cost around Rs 3,50,000 in India. The cost of a refill would be about Rs 90.
