GM to launch ethanol hybrid-flex vehicles in Brazil

General Motors has said it will begin production of hybrid-flex vehicles in Brazil, according to Reuters.

These are the automaker’s “first-ever” hybrid-flex vehicles, it claims. They can run on 100% ethanol or gasoline, alongside batteries.

In a statement to the news agency, GM said that two hybrid-flex models would be produced at factories in Sao Paulo state. The automaker did not disclose when it planned to launch the hybrid-flex vehicles.

A local union at its plant in Sao Jose dos Campos said that the first model would enter the market in 2025.
