Union minister Nitin Gadkari said new vehicles that run entirely on ethanol will be introduced. Speaking at an event in Nagpur, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways recalled he recently met the chairman of Mercedes Benz company that launched an electric vehicle.
Gadkari said he would launch Toyota company’s Camry car in August, which will run 100 per cent on ethanol and it will also generate 40 percent electricity.
If one compares it with petrol, it will be Rs 15 per litre of petrol because ethanol’s rate is Rs 60 while the rate of petrol is Rs 120 per litre. Plus it would generate 40 per cent electricity. The average would be Rs 15 per litre, the minister added.
