gm ecoflex of europe




GM flex fuels of Europe. Through its Opel Corsa, GM intends to diversify it's Flex Fuel line-up globally. Additionally, GM Europe has outlined an environmental strategy that focuses in the short-term on reducing CO2 emissions through engine downsizing, systems optimization (through the use of technologies such as start/stop) and alternative fuels (including CNG and E85); and in the long-term on introducing new propulsion technologies.

In the meantime it is clear that Diesel Hybrids promise enormous fuel savings and the fuel infrastructure can handle the scalable increase to handle more vehicles. It is a good start and it makes sense today, unlike electric or hydrogen cars. GMEs especially pro-environmental automobiles combine economy and driving enjoyment with low fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions in each vehicle class. The premiere model is a Corsa 1.3 CDTI emitting only 119 g/km of CO2, which will be launched in 2008. The Swedish premium brand Saab is also expanding its range of BioPower engines across its entire model portfolio this year. Cadillac will offer a similar E85 variant as of fall 2007, and in 2010, E85 vehicles are expected to be available for Opel/Vauxhall and Chevrolet.
