2/3 AIRPod Baby

The Baby versions, even shorter and easier to handle, offer two front seats and a vast boot of more than 500 liters. This is far more than most of the classic tourers. It is the ideal car for private individuals who want to "drive clean" and in a practical way; to go to their jobs, to do shopping, to drive in town and in the suburbs at a lower cost.

AirOne and AirCity will be developed in the course of 2010, and their production will start in 2011.
AIRFamily

 

AIRFamily  

It will come in numerous versions, thanks to a modular concept that allows producing multiple models using an identical body-molding base: pick-up – monospace – multi volume saloon – station wagon – small van – taxi…
The AIRFamily resumes the idea of the central steering and offers 6 wide seats in its saloon version.
The AIRFamily will be equipped with 4 and 6 cylinders engines, and be brought in production one year after the AIRCity at a weighted average price of € 13 000.
The concept of modularity of the AIRFamily, combined with the MDI concept of manufacturing, is particularly suited to the realization of specific cars such as taxis, office cars and other special models on request.

AIRVan

AIRVan  

The development of those utilitarian vehicles will begin in 2012, and the first deliveries will take place in 2013.
That range of vehicles will be the subject of a separate license. The vans and LUV (light utility veh.) will be produced at the rate of a unit per hour in a specific factory, following the MDI concept.
The AirVan will run in zero pollution in town, and in dual energy (modes 2 and 3) outside cities. Versions in several lengths, as also a pickup will be available.

Multi FlowAir in Kennedy Plaza

*Distributed Manufacturing
 Set up mini factories in regions where the car is used. No transport, no parts suppliers. Everything will be made at the place of sale
 in production units. That is more profitable, more ecological than the big factories of the large carmakers.
