There is no doubting the effectiveness of new technologies in cutting CO2 emissions, but they are often costly solutions. Lotus
believes that there is a complementary and potentially more viable initial step to CO2 reduction - a change to greener, more
sustainable fuel sources.
Alternative fuels may also be better suited to some geographic regions than advanced engine or drivetrain technologies.
Many different types of alternative fuel have been researched by Lotus, including compressed natural gas, alcohol fuel blends and bio-diesels.
These and other alternative fuels can have an immediate impact on CO2 reduction. And they also require lower investment from vehicle manufacturers than improving conventional engine and drivetrain technology to cut CO2 emissions.
Used correctly, renewable alternative fuels can increase engine performance - exciting, green performance cars are a reality.
Lotus has proven expertise of enhancing performance using alternative fuels, and we offer a viable and immediate solution for green
sports cars. We have created biofuel-compatible engines with flex-fuel calibration that comply with emissions regulations while
operating on alcohol or gasoline
To ensure we have a clear, rational view of the issues surrounding alternative fuels, we are part of a network researching how the supply chain can be implemented. We believe that renewable and alcohol fuels can begin to supplant conventional fossil-based fuel sources.
