Tata has signed an agreement with MDI for application in India of MDI’s engine technology, and believes the engine is viable – it’s press statement described it as “efficient, cost-effective, scalable, and capable of other applications such as power generation”.

The agreement between Tata Motors and MDI envisages Tata’s supporting further development and refinement of the technology, and its application and licensing for India.

MDI is a small, family-controlled company located at Carros, near Nice (Southern France) where Guy and Cyril Negre and their technical team have developed the engine technology and the technologically advanced car it powers.

What ever happened to this car?

Still going as far as I can tell, unless they've disappeared in the last six weeks. A working model was featured on UK's TV show The Gadget Show, including a visit to the factory, in the summer. Website seems active, last updated mid December.

MDI presents a great challenge. But it is a long running project. I have heared about them more thant 10 years ago. And each year the project slightly changes.

Hence, I saw no MDI car ready for public roads.

This project is probably one of the less returnable I have ever met. Although I must say I would be tooo happy just to drive one Air Car.

I have a suspicion that maybe this car runs on Hot air. I have also been following the progress(not) of this vehicle. Nothing much seems to be happening, month after month. I have just noticed the article is nearly 3 years old! I feel sorry for Barry, and hope he eventually gets a return on his investment.
