Decompress the Nat Gas to start the car and then run in combustion mode; short bursts of air engine operation when the depresurized Nat Gas reserve is low. Braking would include running the engine as a compressor; requires a spare air only tank.

The ++++ with the OPEC oil, car moguls who have for years beat the Americans down. Who in the world would want to waste $20,000 to get to work? It's just a CAR! When I was in high school 45 years ago they had a carburetor that got 50 miles to the gallon. You guessed it! The oil & car companies gobbled the patient up. Put me on a list also. Now how about Ta Ta motors from India? How come our government is holding those people down? You guessed it, the car manufactures. It's time to move on. I tried to buy one of Ta Ta's cars last year and they could not sell me one. What's up with that? Just hurry up and get these cars on the market. It would help with our unemployment, wouldn't that put some of our people together, building factories in America an all the sub companies to manufacture the parts.

What more could most anyone want, a car that runs on air and could potentially be recharged using solar. Its good to see technologies like the Volt and other cars coming out but this is even better IMHO. The dependance on foreign oil is about to end, 10 years from now the Arab States and countries like Russia won't have a fraction of the influence they have now.

Sign me up for the first one! I live way out in the country and I could still go into town and back before needing a charge. I'm just sorry I recently sold a really good air compressor. The public has to force our right to own one of these if we want one. Damn the oil industry. Wow! Sign me up for the first one!

We should have heard announcements of new developments and breakthroughs by now but instead all we see is old news. Everyone, interested investors, and interested customers, have to have more tangible news and information flowing from MDI and Tata Motors.

People in the US like to live large. Also, do you feel safe in that thing going over 60 mph? The solution is and always has been in alternative fuels and increased supply. This will increase supply of oil and cut demand at the same time. I don't get why Politicians make it a one or the other deal? Get the supply up and work on decreasing over all demand through technology (alternative fuels, hybrids, etc.). Supply goes down...demand goes down...and so should gas prices...right?

Whether we like it or not, the big oil companies run this country, and if we were totally reliant on air, then their market would crumble. I hate to be the debby downer...but thas my two cents. I like the car tho - very cool concept. I really don’t think they will allow this car to hit the US streets.

They recently purchased Land Rover and Jaguar as well. Going to be very interesting to see where they go from here. Keep it up guys! TATA is becoming a bigger player now globally.

I really do hope this comes to the US cause with gas prices going the way they are, we need some kind of break! Its getting ridiculous! Either that, or build a metro rail for all the major parts of town that go into Downtown Houston, Med Center and the Galleria area. “if the cost of air goes up”! hahaha, thats hilarious… but then again, we do pay for water…
