Sao Paulo, Brazil – Brazil has built its ten millionth flexible-fuel vehicle, made by the country’s National Association of Vehicle Manufacturers.

“We congratulate the auto industry in Brazil for its vision and the boldness shown when it chose to invest heavily in flex technology, to the point that many of these industries do not even produce vehicles powered exclusively by gasoline anymore,” said Marcos Jank, president of the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association. “The next step is to take this technically proven and highly successful project to the rest of the world, since all major automakers in Brazil have a global presence.”

Brazilian sugarcane ethanol has struggled to enter global markets competitively.

“We know this is not a simple or quick process, but the introduction of flex-fuel vehicles around the world is something that has to be considered, and it can only happen with decisive support from automakers,” Jank said. “Without it, Brazil would not have accomplished such positive results and it will not be different in other countries. The role of the auto industry is crucial.”
