The engine in the Coupé-Cabriolet concept, C-MAX and existing Focus bio-fuel car models achieves a true CO2 emissions figure of 99.6g/km, beating comparable vehicles using hybrid technology, the automaker said, calling on the government to make flex-fuel motoring more attractive to UK consumers.
There is now no price difference petrol and bio-ethanol models in the Ford UK range.
Ford of Britain chairman and managing director Roelant de Waard said: “Ford is Britain’s leading bio-fuel car manufacturer after launching Britain’s first flexible fuel vehicle almost a year ago.
“Both Ford as vehicle manufacturer, and [supermarket chain] Morrisons as bio-ethanol retailer, have invested in the expansion of this new green technology.
