Subaru and Alternative Fuels
1 October 2005
The current oil shock should be making manufacturers think carefully about alternative fuels, and once again the makers of Subaru seem to be at the forefront of development..
Subaru is maintaining its innovative technological edge by developing environmentally friendly alternative vehicle power sources. The makers of Subaru announce in August 2005 that they were developing Turbo Hybrid Parallel (THP), which is a revolutionary power train system, we assume, for the Subaru Hybrid cars; and a Lithium-ion Capacitor to broaden the use of battery power in cars.
In the meantime Subaru have announce that a number of Subaru vehicles may now run on up to a 10% ethanol fuel blend. It is recommend before trying any form of blended fuels in your Subaru that you consult you local Subaru dealer to ascertain if your Subaru is good to go with blended fuels.
Subaru in Australia announced that Subaru sales had broken their August sales records, with Subaru Imprezza being the clear leader, nearly doubling its sales. It seems certain that consumers are now looking for smaller, more fuel efficient, more environmentally friendly cars, and once again Subaru appear to be leading the way.
