Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari stressed on the use of ethanol in vehicles as a cost effective and pollution-free substitute to other fuels, and said flex-fuel engines will be made mandatory in the coming days.
The flex-fuel, or flexible fuel, is an alternative fuel made with a combination gasoline, methanol or ethanol. Speaking at an event of the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank here, Gadkari mentioned a Russian technology through which the calorific value of petrol and ethanol can be equalised.
