Flex Fuel Vehicle Benefits: Lower CO2 Emissions
New rules aim to encourage car manufacturers to produce more flexible fuel vehicles (e.g., E85). This will allow these cars to have lower official carbon dioxide emission values, potentially affecting their availability and price. Citizens may gain a wider choice of more environmentally friendly vehicles.
Key points
Car manufacturers can report lower CO2 emissions for flexible fuel vehicles, potentially reducing production costs.
The act aims to promote vehicles using fuels like E85, which studies show reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Further emission reductions for these vehicles may be possible in the future if research confirms their effectiveness.
