Environmental Impact and Future Prospects
The introduction of the Hyundai Creta Flex Fuel is a significant move towards reducing the environmental impact of vehicles. By using ethanol, a renewable energy source, the vehicle helps in cutting down greenhouse gas emissions. Ethanol is produced from biomass materials such as corn and sugarcane, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
While Hyundai has not yet announced a specific launch timeline for the Creta Flex Fuel, the unveiling at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 indicates the company’s commitment to sustainable mobility. The success of this model could pave the way for more flex-fuel vehicles in the Indian market, contributing to the country’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels.
