First phase of programme successfully completed with the compressed air engine concept demonstrated in two Tata Motors vehicles

Tata Motors said it has successfully completed the first phase to produce and sell compressed air cars using MDI technology in India.

In January, 2007, Tata Motors and MDI of Luxumbourg had signed a licence agreement that enables Tata Motors to produce and sell compressed air cars using MDI technology in India.

The agreement, signed in 2007, covered two phases of activity encompassing the technology transfer and proof of the technical concept in the first phase, and in the second phase completing detailed development of the compressed air engine into specific vehicle and stationary applications.

"The first phase of this programme-proof of the technical concept in Tata Motors vehicles-has now been successfully completed with the compressed air engine concept having been demonstrated in two Tata Motors vehicles," a company release said here.

In the second phase of the development, the two companies are working together to complete detailed development of the technology and required technical processes to industrialise a market ready product application over the coming years, the release said.
