World's most eco-friendly car - Tata OneCat

You must have joked in the past saying yea run your car using AIR. Well it will never be a joke anymore. The major automobile company from India, Tata Motors and the famous automobile engineer Guy Negre are going to launch a brand new car - The Tata OneCat.
This new zero-emission vehicle, with five seats and glass fiber body, weighs 350 kg and runs on compressed air stored in carbon fiber tank. The designer of this car claims that the car can achieve 120mpg on longer journeys and would be pollution free. The air tank will take three minutes to fill the air from the compressor.
The car would have a range of around 300 km between refuels. The cost of a refill would be about Rs 90. For longer journey one can use conventional fuel like diesel and petrol but with air one can drive the car at speeds below 50.
The car will be ready for its launch in India and Europe by the end of this year or early 2009 within a price range of between £2,500 and £3,000. Expecting the car to be economical Negre said, “The first buyers of the air car will be people who care about the environment."
