A big percentage of people around the globe have an iPod. But for sure none of them have an AirPod. No, it’s not a phone or a music player. The AirPod is a vehicle that you’ve never seen or ride in before. This concept car developed by Moteur Development International is a very unique vehicle both in terms of design and mechanics. It fully runs on compressed air allowing for zero emissions.
As mentioned before, it also displays a unique design. By its name, this MDI vehicle actually looks like a pod with a round body made with much glass all around. The AirPod is a tiny two-seater with its case sitting stop three wheels! This makes me think of a trike instead of a car. But anyway, this MDi concept weighs 220 kg and can run at a range of 180-220 km at a top speed of 40mph. When power runs out, the carbon-fiber air tank can be refilled in just 90 seconds!
This new technology by MDI is protected by 50 international patents. The company sees a lot of potential in this new technology and it hopes other automakers will adopt said technology in the coming years.
Do you think you’ll like riding in the AirPod?
