The Tata AIRPOD air car city
Electric cars are good because they are cheap to operate and environmentally neutral (i.e. they do not emit carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions into the atmosphere). But, it turns out that this kind of transport is a worthy alternative. For example, the Indian company Tata Motors is planning in the very near future to start production of the world's first production of the pneumatic vehicle Tata AIRPOD.
Just a year ago passed the testing of the prototype Toyota Ku Rin, who traveled on a single charge of compressed air of 3.2 kilometers, which was a record at that time. However, recently the company introduced Tata Motors full cars Tata AIRPOD, which may already make this competition not only electric cars but also cars with the internal combustion engine.
Tata AIRPOD is a small, compact car, designed to carry simultaneously three persons. He has angular forms, but these have the disadvantage of almost all machines Tata Motors, the main thing in them — low price and efficiency, and not a fancy appearance. But Tata AIRPOD has one very significant advantage — this car has a pneumatic engine. This engine is powered by compressed air, pumped under pressure into the 175-litre tank.
Compressed air allows the car to Tata AIRPOD can travel at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour and pass on a single charge cylinders up to 200 kilometers (in any case, according to Tata Motors!). These features make Tata AIRPOD is an ideal urban car. It is compact, eco-friendly (not emits harmful substances) and economical (full charge tank with compressed air will cost only about 1 Euro).
