A car being driven on a light, very easy and cheap to produce fuel. A small, but efficient air engine. And an electric car that produces energy when it is driving. Three good and existing inventions, with only one shortcoming. Unfortunately, they were never put together into one car. The question that came up was: could these tree inventions when put together, be the solution for a clean and CO2 neutral car? From this background, the idea of the compressed air/electric hybrid car was born.

During the process there is also looked to the practical demands a CO2-neutral car would have to comply with. Who could be the players in the development of this new car, in other words: which Dutch industries could benefit from this invention? Who can deliver car parts or techniques and who and were can this car be produced. And how do you get a car like this accepted? And than quickly we come to refuel time and price. And that is precisely where the full-electric car is not very good at. But these two performances are very important, if not the most important properties what an alternative to petrol- and diesel cars needs to have.

In Germany the production and acceptance of green energy, especially solar energy is in a very far stadium. For the time being, it does not appear that in the Netherlands we get a political climate where solar energy is so strongly accepted and stimulated. But what if there would be a very strong motivation for solar energy. One that would give many individuals a reason to invest in solar energy. What if solar energy could produce the fuel for your car. In that case, such a car could be the start of a 'green' way of thinking and living.
