Global Renewable Fuels In U.S., GM has 2 million FlexFuel E85-capable vehicles on the road. Building >500,000 more every year. In Brazil, FlexPower is now available in every passenger car model. FlexPower models account for 90% of sales. In Sweden, Saab leads the environment-friendly car segment with 9-59 5 BioPower, accounting for 85% of Saab 9-59 5 sales.
Why E85? E85 is a clean-burning, renewable resource Reduced dependency on foreign oil Help the U.S. Economy GM builds the engines flexible to run on unleaded gas or E85 ethanol Reduced greenhouse gasses
