The road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said the government has issued an advisory to carmakers to introduce flexible-fuel engines in vehicles. Gadkari also said the government is working to encourage the use of green and alternative fuels.
He said ‘I signed a file on flex-fuel engines (to advise carmakers to manufacture flex-fuel engines). We have given them (carmakers) six months (to introduce flex-fuel engines in vehicles that can run on more than one fuel).’ Flex-fuel, or flexible fuel, is an alternative fuel made of a combination of gasoline and methanol or ethanol.
Further, he stated companies like TVS Motors and Bajaj Auto have already started producing flex-fuel engines for their two- and three-wheelers. Moreover, he said ‘Soon, four-wheeler vehicles will run on 100 per cent ethanol. So, we won't need petrol... And, the use of green fuel will save our money.’
