This does still look to be a marketing excercise for now - I see no product availability to market in 6-12 months still.

That product has been out for 5+ years I think (at least). Plenty of airless in low speed / farm type applications.

The real thing here would be high speed (65+) with good ride / noise.

Maybe launch on local fleet delivery vehicles first (ie, neighborhood driving etc) if there were some lighter options there? Service pickup trucks (light?).
