23 December 2009 CHRISTMAS STORY
AN AIRPOD FOR SANTA...
As every one knows, Santa is very much concerned by the problems of pollution associated with transport.
The reindeer is know to emit CO2 (methane), which does not meet with his ecological feeling.
That's the reason why, like the leaders of major fleets, Santa went to MDI to replace his sleigh and his polluting reindeers by a clean AirPod.
Santa is very professionnal:before he has visited before the assembly plant of the AirPod, and he tested the vehicle successfully. Then he said he was particularly interested by the Cargo capacity of airPod Cargo, which will enable him to carry lots of toys for our children.
He very much appreciated the handling of AirPod, even on snow, and its small footprint. He claimed that it will make it possible for him to get into all the cheminies, even the smallest, without getting out of his vehicle.
Although we can see the pictures, this story is a fiction, a festive comedy. Grumpy critics and opponents of all kinds, please, refrain from too easy negative comments, at reading this amusing tale, which serves no other purpose than to wish all of you: HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
23 December 2009 AirPod on snow…
Snow and ice were to visit the tests track of MDI; on this occasion various braking and handling testings have been made.
Entire performance very satisfactory.

08 December 2009 Panic of traditional car lobby?
During the last week of November 2009, a study by the University of California at Berkeley concluded that compressed air vehicles from MDI were more expensive and more polluting than a conventional vehicle.
This study published by the Environmental Research Letters (http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/1748-9326/4/4/044011/) contains errors so big that its purpose is not scientific but is an act of bashing, pure and simple.
The response of MDI can be read here

27 November 2009 The AirPod in Monaco…
26 November 2009 Monday, November 23, 2009: The EPFL and the MDI signed a collaboration agreement.
“L'Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne” (EPFL) is an engineering school located in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was ranked 1st non American University (15th in the world) in the engineering, technology and computing area.
The Industrial Electronics Laboratory of EPFL has introduced energy storage as a topic of research for over a decade. In the context of sustainable development, energy storage by using the air compression is also part of research in this laboratory. The work on the MDI Air Car interests the Industrial Electronics Laboratory at the EPFL, a vehicle using compressed air being naturally a part of the LEI subjects, in terms of performance and production of air under high pressure.
According to the LEI the compressed air engine offers numerous advantages:
· The compressed air can be produced by using renewable energy.
· The life cycle is a lot better than all electrochimical technologies
· No difficult materials to recycle
· Easy to repair and maintain.
A collaboration agreement has been signed between the very prestigious school and MDI. This is a new recognition of the MDI works.

23 March 2009 Appraisal of the International Geneva Motor Show 2009
Two weeks after the Geneva Motor Show, it is now possible to analyse the event and make a proper evaluation of the impact of exposing the MDI Technology to the public. Broadly speaking, the show was a resounding success.
Although the MDI Stand was not accommodated within the “Green Flag” region of the Exhibition, the location was chosen carefully and the Stand was surrounded by the most prestigious Italian and German Companies. The MDI Stand crowned the section of the major brands making MDI a brand in the making. It is now a brand to reckon with, ready for global industrialisation. MDI’s positioning amongst the Big Manufacturers rather than amongst the Research Companies and University Laboratories was therefore of vital importance. Strategically located in the middle of the Hall number 5 and at the intersection of two alleyways gave MDI a great spotlight that it deserved.The Stand was decorated in light wood and natural colours, echoing the clean and environmentally friendly MDI corporate philosophy for technical development of pollution free vehicles. MDI was the only Stand at the Exhibition without any carpeting or synthetic plastic in large quantities. This pertinent fact was diligently observed by Mr. Scheidegger M Henri, the Secretary General of Palexpo. The MDI Stand was a small dew pond amidst a jungle of plastic and steel.
The International Motor Show in Geneva is a veritable decathlon. Ten hours, non-stop daily routine for ten days was quite a rigorous undertaking. Over this period, 800 brands were able to present their products to almost 700,000 visitors. The Exhibition Hall was an incessant swarm of masses, often from far-flung places, arriving by all possible means of transport. Despite the fact that all other stands were crowded, it was gratifying and exciting that those who visited MDI stand showed glint in their eyes, as if saying, “We've got our eyes on you".
Many visitors made very positive comments on MDI vehicles and their novel characteristics. Many came specially to place immediate orders and some even wanted to rent the cars. On the average, over 200 visitors per day expressed their desire to purchase the cars during the Exhibition. MDI Website www.mdi.lu is absolutely inundated with inquiries.
The day before the official opening of the Geneva Motor Show, MDI had an unexpected pleasure to welcome Mr Ratan Tata, the Chairman of Tata Group, accompanied by Mr Ravi Kant, the COO of Tata Motors. The two gentlemen, followed by a retinue of senior officials of the Indian Company, had a long chat on the AirPods and newly re-designed OneFlowAir car with President Negre. The retinue showed particular interest in the road range and self-sufficiency of this little urban marvel. The mutual respect that exists between the two Presidents was quite evident when Mr. Negre and Mr. Tata concluded this informal meeting by discussing the current developments taking place at MDI. The visit of the President of the fifth largest manufacturer of the commercial vehicles in the world is always regarded as a mark of great esteem.
Among the steady stream of anonymous visitors, a few notable personalities emerged. The Designer of the famous Austrian motorcycles and light vehicles, the Marketing Team of the famous Italian Company whose booth was adorned with a pretty floral cage, the Technology Development Manager in Asia of the prestigious English Company, and the CEO of Electric Vehicles of the major French Company were just a few of the prominent exhibitors visiting MDI Stand. The other significant visit was that of His Excellency Mr. Hans-Rudolf Merz, the President of the Swiss Confederation, who dropped in for a few minutes to discuss the benefits of the AirPods with President Negre.Mainly, the visitors acclaimed the importance and relevance of this new MDI Technology in view of current geopolitical global crisis. Some of the comments were very gratifying; but then there was also a small minority who was so sceptical about the technology of the MDI vehicles that they were simply incredulous that air can drive an engine to run a car.
The first two days were the preserve of the journalists. News of development of new technologies on the stands of the major manufacturers was very rare at the exhibition. However, the journalists notched up quite a triumph when they stumbled upon Compressed Air Technology at the MDI Stand. The two vehicles attracted the attention of several hundred international press agents who made a dash for the AirPod and the OneFlowAir. The credit goes to the hard work and impartial professionalism of Mr. Eric Bergerolle from Nouvel Observateur (See his article below), and that of the television reporter Mr. David Sandon from France 3, National Edition and Publication of Nice, as well as to Mr. Zian Marro from Swiss Television. Many foreign television channels from China, Greece, Japan, Romania, Russia and the UK caught up with the new technology and so did a few of the Radio channels such as RMC (Veronique Verdin) and Europe 1.The news on the internet was buzzing as well. Euronews and Caradisiac contributed excellent articles. The most remarkable article was "A Special" in the United Nation’s “The Magazine”. News agencies also did a great job, particularly the article entitled "French firm all air-powered car at Geneva show” in the Associated Press, by the prestigious American Economic Review, The Forbes.

23 March 2009 A Children's Book depicts the Compressed Air Car
The facts about Compressed Air Technology have now even reached the young children through a book by Mr. Jean-Marie Defossez, in which he regales the advent of the novel MDI vehicles. The book, "From the Air for the Planet" is an episode of the adventures of "Sauvenature" kind of characters who assist the children to discover pollution free vehicles while raising awareness about environmental protection. This book about the protection of nature has been translated into four languages and is currently the subject of adaptation of a cartoon on France 3. The book is published by Flammarion and can be bought from major Internet sites.
13 March 2009 The New Photo Gallery A small photo gallery of MDI vehicles is now available on the MDI website to meet the requirement of high-definition pictures by many journalists and friends of the MDI project. These photos are usually taken at the MDI factory. The first gallery is for the AirPod and other galleries will soon be posted online. The Photo Gallery is at: MDI Image Galleries.

09 December 2008 Figures
Two months after the launch of MDI’s new website, its popularity has become quite apparent. Thousands of surfers visit these pages every day. However, the number of people completing the “Intention to Purchase” form has yielded a significant result for MDI. The surfers are requested to indicate their preferences to particular types of vehicles and express their intention to purchase the vehicles when the production commences without any commitment on their part or without leaving a deposit. The table below shows the analysis of the figures in the past two months only, indicating the popularity of MDI Vehicles even before their availability in the market.
04 December 2008 The OneFlowAir in Marseille
Santa exchanged his reindeers for a Compressed Air Vehicle. For the end of the year festivities, MDI lent a OneFlowAir display model on Marseille docks where adults and children could see and examine the MDI vehicle.
29 November 2008 MDI in negotiation with the Iguazu Park
MDI was contacted by the Management of the Iguazu Park in Argentina. This extremely picturesque Park, with more than 67,000 hectares and 2,500 indigenous spices (some unique only to Iguazu), is now classified as “Patrimoine Naturel de l’Humanite”. It is situated on the boundary between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. More than a million visit the park every year and they have to be transported through the jungle to observe the majesty of the place. The Management’s request was for a proposal for an alternative transport system that would be more ecologically acceptable than their current polluting system. The long term aim is to build a fleet of vehicles but for an immediate solution, the re-motorisation of their existing small trains has been proposed. These trains, which carry the visitors, require about a hundred horse powers. MDI Technology is very versatile and has the advantage of being adapted according to the required power output and is planning to install several MDI Engines in the trains.In December, the Company that operates the Park and MDI will open up discussions on the methodology of implementation of MDI’s Proposal which will result in a fully-fledged impact on environment protection in the heart of a subtropical forest.

30 October 2008 Members of the “Air Car Forum” visit the MDI’s Head Quarters Aficionados of MDI known as the “Air Car Forum” visited the Carros Factory on Monday October 27th 2009. The group of fifteen members operate a web page on which people can discuss MDI’s ongoing activities. Their Forum is completely independent but genuinely illustrates people’s opinions and questions about MDI Technology and the latest news on development. MDI Directors and Staff were, therefore, very pleased to meet the members of the Forum once again. “The Air Car Forum” has now been operating for several years and MDI has had the opportunity to meet the team during a previous visit in 2003.On this occasion, the fifteen members came with a view to get to know the latest development in MDI Technology. They were received by Mr Cyril Negre, the Head Engineer, who eventually thanked them all for their support. After being updated on the state of the technology, the visitors observed an engine being tested on the Test Bench. This was followed by a question and answer session and the visit culminated with the Presentation on the AIRPod which was a way to thank the team for their friendly support.
17 October 2008 Air France flies with MDI Last week MDI’s team visited the group’s headquarters near Le Bourget with two AirPods. The extensive demonstration was a resounding success and Air France Directors made their decision.A press release published on Air France’s official website announced its verdict to replace their petrol/diesel driven vehicles with zero-emission compressed-air powered vehicles at Airports to fulfil their commitment to further reduce the environmental impact of its activity on the environment. Air France & KLM are now in the process of testing the zero-emission Transporters for six months and subsequently intend to equip their airports with AirPods. Air France's pronouncement to select MDI Technology to clean up the environment at the Airports is yet the highest accolade received by MDI in the West. Air France's acceptance of Compressed Air Technology to further reduce the pollution levels at the Airports is the second major endorsement of MDI Technology, Tata Motors being the first one.Tata Motors’ recognition of this innovative 21st Century Clean Air Technology initiated the launch pad sequence for MDI Cars and with Air France & KLM now responding positively and placing orders for a fleet of AirPods for equipping their Airports, MDI Technology has been catapulted into a trajectory destined to meteoric heights.
For more information: the official Announcement here.
