friesman Posted June 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 14, 2008 Ive been following this company for 7 or 8 years and I think it could really have some potential if they can get approval to bring into the US and Canada. IT has some limitations but for the average commuter type person, or a delivery person it would be a great thing. It has built in air conditioning by redirectling exhaust thru the dashboard vents and its exhaust is just chilled regular air coming out. the byproduct of expanding gas being released is the chilling effect. They have no idea how it will run in cold weather and they dont know how they might heat a car for cold weather use. ( look at the unsucessfull attempts the vw beetle had at keeping the cabin warm in cold climates) But i think this might be the way to go in the future for people who think of their car as transportation first and adventure second........think of the cost savings using air for power.....its a lot of money saved in a big hurry with these things, ........but theyre so ugly..... Just my 2 cents brian:cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted June 14, 2008 Share #3 Posted June 14, 2008 It will never be approved in the US, no taxes on air, no fuel cost to tax and big oil will kill it somehow............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipshot Posted June 14, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 14, 2008 It will never be approved in the US, no taxes on air, no fuel cost to tax and big oil will kill it somehow............ AMEN, brother. i doubt seriously if it will be marketed in france, either. like you said, big oil will not ever allow this technology to become available to the masses. just jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken8143 Posted June 14, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 14, 2008 I like it, big oil or not! Where can I get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted June 14, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 14, 2008 I like it, big oil or not! Where can I get one? Popular mechanics said probably 2009 or 2010 for it to get to the US. Here is the article http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4251491.html?series=19 Brian:cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
