Brazil produces 10 millionth flex-fuel vehicle
On 4 March Brazil constructed its 10 millionth flex-fuel vehicle according to Anfavea, the country’s National Association of Vehicle Manufacturers.
This accomplishment is a milestone for the industry and Brazil as a country, and the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) hopes its success will encourage automakers to invest more in the global dissemination of what has been accomplished in Brazil.
Marcos Jank, president of UNICA, said: ‘We congratulate the auto industry in Brazil for its vision. The next step is to take this technically proven and highly successful project to the rest of the world, since all major automakers in Brazil have a global presence.’
However, due to the limited capacity of ethanol being manufactured, dispensed and used, UNICA believes that flex-fuel technology is falling short.
‘We know this is not a simple or quick process, but the introduction of flex-fuel vehicles around the world is something that has to be considered, and it can only happen with decisive support from automakers,’ Jank said.
