Yes, I've covered this before, but now I've written about it on www.allcarselectric.com

Great article. What kind of propulsion systems do the french compressed air cars use?

So are you saying this would run as a generator to generate electricity? Could it produce 53kW like the Volt's generator? What kind of range could it offer in a tank the size of the Volt's gas tank?

Indeed there are a lot of delivery companies and what not that could use this system. Maybe even some taxis could use this since they are making lots of small trips, I don't know about the major cities like New York, but smaller city taxi companies definitely could.

omni,

MDI and others use piston air engines with a mechanical transmission to drive the wheels.

Yes, I expect an upsized air motor to drive a generator to keep a converted Volt running.
