Industry Experts Affirm Safety and Efficiency of Ethanol-Blended Fuels for Vehicles
Industry leaders from Hero MotoCorp and FADA affirm that ethanol-blended fuels like E20 petrol are generally safe for vehicles, with minimal impact on mileage. While newer vehicles launched since 2023 are designed to be E20-compliant, older cars may experience slight mileage reductions. OEMs are improving vehicle efficiency to offset ethanol's lower calorific value. Both executives highlighted challenges such as demand fluctuations and digital adaptation but remain optimistic about alternative fuels and the sector's future.
