Citröen C3 1,4 FlexThe innovation in the automotive sector this year is the engine that functions in such a way with alcohol, as much with gasoline or with the mixture. It is the Flexfuel technology.
These technologies are used in small scale in some countries. They also signal possibilities that can be better explored, in the average stated period, for the use of cleaner and efficient power plants.
With World Cup, elections and Brazilian in the space, 2006 will be one year very agitated in Brazil and the national automotive market promises to follow this sped up rhythm. We will have in the country the main event of the sector, the Salão do Automóvel in São Paulo - a biennial event - and also the official celebration of the 50 years of the Brazilian automobile industry.
In two weeks, will appear the C3 1,4 Flex, anticipating that the proliferation of bifuels continues. As much that still in January the Corsa Classic and Fiesta 1,0 also will become bifuels. Still in the period pre-carnival, Fiat will launch the Doblò bicombustible version.
The rhythm of launchings will be still more sped up in April. With bold style, the national sedan of Honda will have a new engine 1,8 and must still have versions flexfuel - the Honda Fit also will become bifuel in 2006.
Have a nice Flexfuel year in 2006!
Flex-fuel I (gasoline/hidrated alcohol or not) - the multicombustible archetype is equipped with Zetec RoCam engine developed to use, in the same tank, as much hidrated alcohol as pure gasoline or gasohol - gasoline mixed alcohol, as the one of the Brazilian market. This flexibility, besides providing the advantage of choice of the available or more economic fuel in each situation, simplifies the system of feeding of the vehicle, that excuses the installation of independent storage compartments.
