All vehicle manufacturers will soon have to mandatorily power vehicles with flex-fuel engines (that can run on more than one fuel). Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday revealed he will be issuing an order in this regard in the next 3 to 4 months.
Flex engines are power trains that can run on more than one fuel, adding to the consumer’s choice. Additionally, these engines reduce dependency on conventional fossil fuel such as gasoline. Flex fuel engines are popular in some Latin American countries as well as in the United States.
The announcement by the transport minister was made while addressing people during the foundation stone laying ceremony of the flyover from Rajaram Bridge in Pune.
