Gasoline is already the fuel of the past. The search is on, but what will the fuel of the future be? Zero Pollution Motors, LLC predicts air compression. Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) is poised to produce the first compressed air-powered car for sale in the United States by 2nd half 2015.whitepod.
The AIRPod is said to weigh just 617 pounds, with a top speed of about 50 mph, and a range of approximately 80 miles. The car can be filled with compressed air in less than five minutes with a commercial-grade air compressor, which are found at just about any gas station, at a cost of less than $2 per fill-up.
The AIRPod vehicle, developed by MDI (www.mdi.lu), is the solution to urban pollution and urban mobility. With its small size, a tiny price, zero pollution, and a fun and futuristic design, AIRPod marks a turning point in the range of urban vehicles. It is a real breath of fresh air in cities and the prelude to travel without pollution.
As the U.S. licensee for Luxembourg-based MDI, the developer of the Air Car as a compression-based alternative to the internal combustion engine, ZPM has attained rights to build the first of several modular plants in the United States to produce the air-powered vehicles branded ‘AIRPod’. Hawaii is the anticipated location of the first production plant.

According to ZPM’s Fundable page, the first site for a U.S. AIRPod factory is anticipated to be in Hawaii, which is “the most fossil fuel dependent state” and therefore a good fit for the launch of an affordable low-carbon transportation option. The company’s website claims that it expects to have its first vehicles available in the U.S. by the second half of 2015.
