Ok, I wrote CO2. Mistake I was tired. The idea is that the vehicle runs entirely on compressed air. So,the fluids will stay cleaner. Yes, it is fairly ugly. No gas or diesel. Probably never see it here being that the Big 3 controll everything that is not green related. I worked in germany after I got out of the Army over there as a mechanic for VW/AUDI. There are cars that still haven't made it over here. Back in the early '90's they were working on Green vehicles that still aren't here. Never will .
