Saab Gets into Biofuel Hybrids
It's going to be a greener future if automakers can have their way and consumers can afford to purchase the new cars they're coming out with.
The Swedish subsidiary of the embattled American automotive giant General Motors has already made a name as a leading maker of biofuel cars, which can run on any mixture between ordinary petrol and E85, a fuel blend that contains 85% bioethanol made from plants.
In the future, Saab intends to go one step further with its Bio Power Hybrid, a concept car that combines a plant-powered engine with an electric one, thus reducing emissions even further.
There is no news yet about when such a car could hit the tarmac, but Saab's hybrid head Martin Elliot is confident that in a few years "we'll get something on the market" similar to what is on display.
