Daimler's alternate fuel vehicle


Finally Daimler has an alternate fuel vehicle that runs on ethanol and the company said in a news conference that it will dedicate 25 percent of its vehicle production to ethanol-ready vehicles because of this rising gas prices. The car maker is expected to sell about 250,000 flex-fuel vehicles next year and half a million by 2008. Chrysler will begin offering flex-fuel versions of its Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Jeep Commander and the Dodge Dakota pickup truck, the company said. What with the rising gas prices and mounting tension in the middle east, this seems to be a genuine alternative.
