Stellantis <\/strong>recently announced that tests have confirmed that two dozen of its engine families, currently used in 28 million European vehicles sold since 2014<\/strong>, can use eFuels supplied by Saudi chemical company Aramco without powertrain modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low-carbon eFuels are synthetic fuels made by reacting carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere or industrial use with renewable hydrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stellantis has committed to 100% of its passenger car sales in Europe and 50% in the United States being battery electric by 2030, and anticipates that many of its internal combustion products will remain on the road until about 2050. According to the company, 25% of the model years it produces are still on the road after 20 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Drop-in eFuels can have a massive and almost immediate impact on reducing CO2 emissions from the existing vehicle fleet,” said Stellantis Director of Engineering and Technology, Ned Curic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We offer our customers an easy and economically efficient option to reduce their carbon footprint, one as simple as choosing a different fuel pump at the station, without any additional modifications to their vehicles,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
