The Renewable Fuels Association along with other ethanol groups filed comments this week with the Environmental Protection Agency on Flex Fuel Vehicles. RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper says the agency’s looking for input on how to handle the crediting mechanism for building flex fuel vehicles. He says those credits need to be raised to help incentivize automakers to make FFVs.
He says without proper incentives automakers will make other types of vehicles rather than FFVs.
Cooper says there multiple benefits to having FFVs on the roadways and making more of them makes sense.
Cooper says it’s important that the EPA provide a long term floor and more robust E85 usage factors for future model years given the benefits provided by ethanol flex fuels.
