Govt issues advisory to Automakers to begin manufacturing Flex Fuel Vehicles in 6 months.
Delhi: Union Government has advised the Automobile Manufacturers in India to start manufacturing Flex-Fuel Vehicles and Flex-Fuel Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicles complying with BS-6 Norms in a time-bound manner within a period of six months.
In a series of tweets, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari today said, the suggestion has been made in line with Prime Minister’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and the government’s policy on promoting ethanol as a transport fuel.
He said Flex-Fuel Vehicles are capable to run on a combination of 100 per cent Petrol or 100 per cent bio-ethanol and their blends.
Mr Gadkari said this move will drastically reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions from vehicles. He said this will help India to comply with its commitment made at COP-26 to reduce the total projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030.
