E100-Compatible Flex-Fuel Passenger Car : There is a fuel crisis in the world. This crisis is going to deepen in the coming times. Countries of the world are working to develop different fuel options. In India too, work is being done rapidly in this direction. A car may soon be launched in India that can run on 100 percent ethanol (E100). Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari will introduce India’s first E100-compatible flex-fuel passenger car on June 5, the World Environment Day. This is considered a big step in India’s automobile sector.

Speaking at an event in Nagpur, Gadkari said the upcoming model will support E100 fuel—that is, pure ethanol with no adulteration of petrol—which will mark a significant milestone in India’s efforts to promote alternative fuels.

Although Maruti Suzuki has not yet officially revealed the name of this model, it is expected that the flex-fuel version of WagonR or Fronx will be the strongest contender among the vehicles to be launched.

Maruti Suzuki has already shown flex-fuel prototypes of both these models at different auto shows. The WagonR flex-fuel model was introduced at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, while an ethanol-compatible version of the Fronx was shown overseas.
