Clean DieselLower Sulfur Content & High
Mileage • Compared to their gasoline counterparts, the new generation
of clean diesel vehicles offer much greater fuel economy while
delivering better performance. Around the world, consumers
are favoring advanced diesel technology.
• Clean diesels power 40 percent of Europe’s new light duty
motor vehicles.
• Today’s clean diesel vehicles run more cleanly, thanks to new
high-pressure fuel injection, combustion and exhaust after-
treatment technologies.
• A key factor in determining the success of these aftertreatment
technologies was EPA’s 2001 decision to require dramatic sulfur
reductions in diesel fuel.
• On average, clean diesel vehicles achieve 20-40 percent better
fuel economy than their gasoline-powered counterparts.

Ethanol (E-85)Homegrown & Renewable
Ethanol derived from corn, sugar cane – cellulosic on
the way
E-85 is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline
All vehicles on the road today can use a blend of up to
10% ethanol with gasoline without voiding warranties.
Of the 170,000 gas stations in America, about 1,200
sell E-85
Ethanol is renewable but contains less energy than
gasoline
Because ethanol is more corrosive than gasoline,
automakers need to use special materials for the gas
line, gas tank, pumps, and injectors.

Hybrid EnginesAdvanced Batteries & Higher Mileage
• Hybrid-electric vehicles refer to powertrains that use a battery-
powered electric motor, a gasoline internal combustion engine,
and a concept known as regenerative braking to power the
vehicle
• Regenerative braking systems, which recover energy that is
otherwise wasted, allow hybrids to be especially fuel-efficient
in stop-and-go city driving
• Utilizing these hybrid technologies, fuel economy can be
improved by up to 25 percent over conventional automobiles
• At the moment, hybrids are more expensive than traditional
gasoline engines
• Automakers working hard to continue battery development and
advancements
