Yes, you read that correctly. The cars in this video run on nothing but compressed air and can drive almost 200km on a single fill. The video showcases French manufacturer, MDI’s air-driven cars, which work by using the pressure of compressed gas to move the pistons inside the engine. Most importantly, the company plans to begin sales next year.
