A car that runs on compressed air releases exhaust that is actually cleaner than the ambient air. Mexico has ordered thousands.
Former Formula One engine designer Guy Negre of France is marketing his e.Volution compressed air vehicles to jammed metropolises worldwide, but is having success in developing nations. His cars are piston-driven by normal air under extremely high pressure. The sweet breath bonus is that the cars scrub the air they use through carbon fiber filters, making the 'exhaust' cleaner than the ambient atmosphere...Negre expects the e.Volution fleet to debut on streets this year as taxis, pickup trucks, or delivery vans, with some models selling for well under $10,000. Mexico already has thousands on order. " [The source website keeps changing the location of this article breaking our link to it.
