Guy Negre’s engine running on compressed air – which we blogged about a while ago – is picking up steam. Belgian entrepreneur Jan Peetermans appears to have bought a license to start producing cars featuring Negre’s engine. Among other models, he plans to release a 4.000€ model by next year. The production process will be similar to that of the airplane-industry, featuring polyester and aluminium as basic construction materials. Furthermore, MDI’s cars will be produced worldwide but locally, through a licensing scheme. Transport costs both in terms of money as well as ecologically can hence be drastically reduced at production level as well.
