The AIRPod is a compressed-air vehicle in development by Motor Development International.[1] The AIRPod is planned to be produced in three different configurations that will vary the number of seats and amount of cargo storage while keeping the same basic chassis.[2] It is designed as a zero-emission urban vehicle. Prototypes have been tested by Air France-KLM for use as emission-free vehicles in airports.
MDI has been promising production of the AirPod each year since 2000. As of October 2018, not a single production car has been created. Zero Pollution Motors promised production by mid-2019.[3]
