                    [Summary] => Ford Motors Co. Philippines (FMCP) will be able to come out with a flexible fuel engine within one year, according to Henry Co, president of FMCP.


In an interview, Co said that Ford wants to be the first to introduce flexible fuel engines in response to the government’s move to encourage alternative fuels and save on expensive imported crude oil products.

Ford’s flexible fuel engine would use ethanol made from sugar and would be able to use a blend of up to 20 percent.
