compressed air tank It is a carbon- fibre tank.It holds 90 cubic meter of air.This tank can be ruptured , but can't be explode.
Break Power RecoveryIt uses one mechanism that stops engine when thecar is stationary(at traffic light , junctions etc..), which recover 13% of power used.
BodyIts body is made up of FIBER GLASS and INJECTED FOAM.
It is slightly costly , but it does not cut like steel.
It does not rust.
It is light weighted.
Air FilterCarbon filter are used to get AIR FILTERRid from dirt , dust ,humidity and other particles.
MDI cars produces clean air , which is cold on exit and is harmless to human life.These air can be used for refrigeration.
