The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the global commitment to the environmental care. Today, more than ever before, companies in the sector are focused on developing alternative fuel technologies that not only equalize, but also outperform of traditional vehicles powered by fossil fuels.
In this context, alternative energies such as biodiesel, bioethanol and electricity are taking center stage, representing a key step towards reducing polluting emissions and complying with international agreements on climate change.
Alternative fuels: a sustainable response to today's challenges
Biodiesel: lower emissions with good performance
The biodiesel is an alternative fuel that is obtained from the mixture of diesel with vegetable oil. Its main environmental benefit is the significant reduction of polluting gases:
- Reduces up to by 18% CO₂ emissions..
- Decreases in a 22% particulate emission harmful to health and the environment.
- Can be used in conventional diesel engines with minimal modifications.
This option is especially viable for work and transportation vehicles that require power, but are also looking to be part of the ecological transition.
Bioethanol: clean energy from cereals
The bioethanol is another alternative fuel produced by fermenting sugar or starch extracted from cereals. When mixed with gasoline, it offers:
- A reduction of up to 6% in CO₂ emissions..
- A renewable alternative that can be used in retrofit or flex fuel engines.
- Domestic production in many countries, reducing dependence on oil imports.
Bioethanol is gaining ground in countries that are looking for more sustainable cars without sacrificing autonomy or performance.
The Paris agreement and the goals towards 2030
December 2015, 195 countries signed the Paris Agreement on climate change, The company is committed to limiting global warming and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Ambitious goals for Europe
One of the most relevant commitments is that of Europa, which projects a reduction of up to 80% of its emissions emissions compared to 1990 levels by 2030. This goal has driven the development of public policies, fiscal incentives and regulations that favor:
- The use of electric and hybrid vehicles.
- Investment in freight infrastructure.
- The progressive replacement of the traditional vehicle fleet.
This agreement marks a before and after in the how we think about urban and rural mobility.
Electricity: the energy that leads the automotive shift
The electricity has established itself as the main alternative energy in the automotive sector, and is gaining more and more ground globally every year. Why?
- It is a clean and efficient source.
- It reduces the consumption of fossil fuels.
- Significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Electric and hybrid cars: smart mobility
Thanks to technological advances, the electric and hybrid vehicles are already available in many markets around the world, including Ecuador. These cars combine:
- Powerful and quiet electric motors.
- Smaller and more efficient internal combustion engines.
- Optimized autonomy and lower cost per kilometer traveled.
- Driver assistance technology, connectivity and intelligent systems.
The result is a vehicle that offers high performance, low consumption and lower environmental impact.
