A Zero Emission Car By Tata Uses Compressed Air To Push The Pistons of Motor


Well, those folks at Tata Motors are at it again.  This India based car manufacturer has gone and upped the ante once more.  Would you believe a car that runs on compressed air?

Dubbed the MiniCat, This car uses compressed air to push the pistons of the motor instead of a combustible fuel mixture.  That’s right.  This means *zero* emissions.

The construction is completely different from the standard stamped sheet metal welded to make a unibody frame.  It consists of tubular steel and fiberglass married together with industrial adhesive.

Tata Motors are indicating a range of about 300 kilometers (186 miles) between fill ups.  In India, a fill up should cost less than $2.  The top speed is 65mph.
