Using Ethanol in Different Cars in Different Historical Epochs
USING ETHANOL IN DIFFERENT CARS IN DIFFERENT HISTORICAL EPOCHS World's 1st four-stroke combustion running on bioethanol Henry Ford built his first automobile, the quadri- cycle, to run on pure ethanol. Henry Ford produced the Model T. As a flexible fuel vehicle, it could run on ethanol, gasoline, or a combination of the two. 1876 1896 1908 Ethanol production for fuel use increased in US, UK, and Sweden, owing` to wartime demand for fuel supplemented with 30-35% etha- nol. This increase was chiefly due to non-fuel wartime uses. After the World War Il ethanol lost its popu- larity thanks to drop in oil prices Gasoline became the motor fuel of choice. In US ethanol is added to gasoline to in- crease octane and to reduce engine knocking. Bioethanol was first used as a fuel for race car (Indianapolis 500) USA launches massive production of bioethanol 1978 1941 1920 Large cities suffering from smog, switch their public transportation to run on bioethanol. US re-visit idea of flexible fuel car (first time since Ford's T-Model). New cars run on E85 gasoline (85% - bioethanol, 15% - petrol) 25 million+ cars in the world run on E85. Bioethanol is used worldwide as an additive in gasoline. 1990 1997 2010
