http://www.gizmag.com Compressed air cars are well and truly on their way to mass production in India and America, among other places - although they seem to be taking their time. But the cheap, environmentally-neutral compressed air engine also lends itself to other interesting urban and industrial transport concepts like the AIRPod. Intended both as a personal 3-4 seater city commuter and as a getabout for airport, train station and municipal workers, the AIRPod is cute and easy to drive with a joystick instead of a steering wheel and pedals. The three-wheel transport weighs around the same as a touring motorcycle at 220kg, so it only needs 5 1/2 horsepower from its lightweight air engine to reach top speeds a little over 40mph. Best of all, cheap compressed air refilling will take as little as 90 seconds and cost about EU1.10 for the AIRPod's expected 220km range.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-83848 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-83848 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 11:42:56 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-21010 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-21010 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 09:31:06 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-3922 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-3922 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:51:21 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-3910 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-3910 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:04:41 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-3721 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-3721 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:20:14 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1411 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1411 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:06:49 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1408 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1408 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:04:12 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1393 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1393 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:24:47 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1378 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1378 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:39:28 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1360 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1360 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:52:16 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1357 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1357 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:54:30 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1354 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1354 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 20:49:29 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1348 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1348 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:23:48 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1345 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1345 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:18:21 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1327 http://www.gizmag.com/airpod-compressed-air-car-mdi-zero-emissions/11177/#comment-1327 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:39:14 -0600
