Bio-Hybrid Technology: Efficiency and Versatility

The Bio-Hybrid technology from Stellantis combines flex engines that use a mixture of gasoline and ethanol, with the ability to switch between the two fuels, and advanced electric systems.

This combination includes options with plug-in charging and a dual-clutch electric transmission, promising better energy performance compared to conventional engines.

Advantages of Ethanol Over Fossil Fuels

According to Stellantis, the new hybrid engines will be developed to extract maximum performance from ethanol, a renewable fuel with lower carbon emissions when burned compared to gasoline.

This strategy aims to take advantage of Brazil’s infrastructure and experience in using ethanol as a clean and competitive fuel in the global market.

Stellantis’ Response to Electric Vehicle and Hydrogen Competition

The investment by Stellantis in Bio-Hybrid technology is seen as a direct response to the growing global competition in the electric vehicle sector and the advancement of the hydrogen industry, led by countries such as Japan and China.

The bet on ethanol combined with electrification opens a new front in the race for cleaner and more efficient transportation solutions.

Expected Impact on the Automotive Market

Variations of the Bio-Hybrid technology from Stellantis include the standard model with an internal combustion engine and electric propulsion, the Bio-Hybrid eDCT, with a dual-clutch electric system, and the Bio-Hybrid Plug-In, with external charging capacity and use of the electrical grid to increase range.

This diversity of options is expected to position Stellantis as a leader in the energy transition for automotive mobility.

Launch Expected in the Coming Years

According to the information released, the new line of hybrid engines from Stellantis, integrating ethanol and electric propulsion, is expected to be launched in the coming years.

This billion-dollar investment represents a strategic step for the company to stand out in the global market for sustainable vehicles, consolidating its position as a reference in the use of ethanol as a clean and competitive fuel.
