Why has Saab developed BioPower technology if bioethanol fuel is available in so few markets around the world?
Saab has a tradition of addressing environmental concerns with innovative technical solutions. There is no doubt bioethanol will become more widely available in the years ahead and there are already signs of further development in the rest of Europe. The EU is committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and supports using biofuels for road transport through preferential taxation in member states. The process is already advanced in Sweden, and Saab is participating in initiatives in six EU countries to introduce BioPower test fleets to the corporate sector through the BEST (Bio-Ethanol for Sustainable Transport) program.
