Company Profile: Zero Pollution Motors

Company Mission Statement: "To bring zero pollution motoring at any speed, for any distance, to the largest number of motorists possible and, in doing so, significantly improve the quality of the air we breathe and reduce our collective carbon footprint."

Zero Pollution Motors is set to come out with a vehicle in late 2009 that will get over 1,000 miles per fill-up! It runs off of the combined propulsion of compressed air, that is pressurized and heated further by a fuel (gasoline, propane, ethanol, bio-fuels, perhaps even natual gas). Hopefully, hydrogen will be added as an optional fuel source. The ZPMs with it's 8 gallon fuel tank and its 4,500 psi compressed air tanks combined, currently will achieve 848 miles per fill-up, and has a top speed of 96 MPH! Other models run completely on compressed air, and have built-in air compressors and plug-in outlets. The compressed air only cars in and of themselves don't emit pollutants-- hence the name "Zero Pollution Motors." It is in this case, the communities and the utility companies that bear the challenges for building green power plants, so that no one will leave even an indirect carbon footprint. The dual propulsion ZPM vehicles (compressed air and fuel) do emit pollution. However, the amount of pollution and energy consumption is very small. For example, a 2007 Toyota Prius emits .34 lbs. of CO2 per mile. The ZPM vehicles will emit only .141 lbs. of C02 per mile-- that is twice as less than the Prius, and four times less than most automobiles! The vehicles will come fully loaded at around $18,000.00 USD, and will be shipped directly from the factory to one's home. Any maintenance and repair will be conducted at an authorized local repair facility. And models will come in different configurations, from sedans, to convertibles, from station-wagons to hatch-backs, and from pick-ups to mini-vans. ZPM is a product of the merged efforts of the MDI Corporation of France and of Tata Motors of India. One can visit the company website at, http://zeropollutionmotors.us/

still nothing about efficiency , i know about what compressors that are out there and the efficiency's of all of them. noone are efficient enough
you ever seen a paintball tank, they are very small and it cost about $1 worth of electricity to charge one, so to charge your car would cost probably at least $100 to charge it.
about $20 to charge some of the new batteries out there to do the same thing.
quit misrepresenting this product to just run on gas because it has to be plugged in and thats fuel too that you are not figuring to the cost of running it

Efficiency: 106 MPG, 848 miles per fill-up.... expected by late 2009 to be at 1,000 miles per fill up! I don't understand what you don't understand?

Factories built in the US = American jobs.
American investors + American jobs = $$$$ into US economy.

P.S.: Zero Pollution Motors is also looking for investors, starting at $5,000.00 USD per pie slice.

you can get your own forum and beg for money there
leave the good people here alone

Out-of-time,

You got me wrong. I'm not affiliated with ZPM, just like the product and idea (and I hope that I probably will end up buying one-- that is unless an American company comes out with something comparable). Right now, I'm a poor guy just getting by just like everyone else here. I don't have $5,000 to invest and probably won't for quite some time, until I take care of my student loans and other debts first. In the mean-time, I was just being informative, for those who might be interested. That's all.

than i apologise if i read you wrong, sounded like you were selling their product.
no i am not with any oil companies
i am just a person who hates seeing people waste energy to make a differnt energy and sugar coating it to sell to people who dont understand how it really isnt efficient at all.
and most of all hate companies that claim to be environmental but are really more harmful to our environment.
you really need to research things before you promote them

Only for the initial pre-charge, or if the air-tanks are completely spent. The vehicle can run on fuel alone, air alone, or combined with both. If the air tank is completely spent, one only needs to add fuel and run the motor to charge the air-tanks. Such might require a bit more consumption of fuel to charge the air tanks; however, during the normal operation of the ZPM vehicles the 106 MPG and 848 miles per fill-up takes into account the fact that the engine continually has to charge the air tanks anyway. In late 2009, ZPM is said to fine tune their design and engineering. I would suspect perhaps slightly larger capacity fuel and air tanks, and higher performance engines will contribute to the 1,000 mile per fill-up goals. But as it stands 848 miles per fill-up is outstanding.

Dear Out-of-time (and space),

By purchasing a ZPM vehicle, one would be creating jobs in the US, since the factories would be here in the US. Americans can partake in the windfall profits, from investing and being part owners of a factory. All of this puts money back into the US economy.

I see the whole agenda here. It isn't about whether the ZPMs have a good working product that solves alot of energy and environmental problems... to you... its about US jobs and US products.

I would buy a vehicle in the future that was from an American company, IF such a vehicle was as economical and as environmentally friendly as the foriegn imports are. I prefer to buy American. But, American companies haven't got with the program yet.

I object to your saying "move to france if you want to support them." We no longer live in an isolationist world of city-states and provinces. The rest of the world is more interdependent upon each other, inter-relates and engages in commerce and trade now more than ever before. To deny this reality and trend is to loose our edge as Americans. What we need to do, is to balance our trade deficits. And to market our goods over seas. When we are independent with our energy consumption and less dependent on foreign oil (largely from the middle east and from nations whose friendship to the US is in big question), we are in a greater strategic position of power in the world. We are respected more for taking the moralistic stance on global environmentalism, as well as for freeing the energy economic burdens on our own domestic populations.

By purchasing a ZPM vehicle, one would be creating jobs in the US, since the factories would be here in the US. Americans can partake in the windfall profits, from investing and being part owners of a factory. All of this puts money back into the US economy.

France may not be our best ally, and may have even given us contentious trouble in NATO, but they are our ally none the less. So is India. I would much rather put money back into the US economy, become enery independent, save money on energy consumption, and be more environmentally friendly, and buy a ZPM vehicle in doing so, than by supporting middle eastern terrorism indirectly through the enormous consumption of gasoline, and by purchasing an American vehicle that is 4 times less efficient (because these American companies are too stupid to do what is needed to be done). If these American companies would get with the program, then yes absolutely I would buy American over any other foreign import. But don't question my patriotism, or say I have to move to France, because I want to do the right thing and save money in the process.
