You still need to compress the air with something. What, electric motors uses generated power or gasoline compressor uses gasoline.

This idea would end some pollution on the roads.

Compressed air is what runs every engine. 15 parts air to 1 part fuel. This mixture is compressed and ignited and an explosion occurs in the combustion chamber and forces the piston downward creating an action which causes the engine to turn.

I read an article about this recently. The problem is that the size of the compressed air tank means that the car has a very limited range. Using a home compressor could take over 4 hours to charge the tank. Lithium batteries are a better way to store energy.Check out Zero Motorcycles, this has a range of 50 miles and a topspeed of 67mph.

The questioner means a car which runs on compressed air only. This was exhibited in France a few years ago, but so far as I know has never been commercialised. Best to look on the net to see more details.
