GMC is promoting its E85 vehicles very heavily. E85 stands for 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. The E85 is made from corn (get the yellow part now) or other biodegradable waste (even garbage). It burns cleaner than regular gasoline. It is also cheaper to make as the corn is grown in the Unites States, thus limiting the dependency on foreign countries. Just these reasons alone show why GMC is setting the standard with alternative vehicles. You also can’t watch a television show without seeing a commercial promoting the new greener GMC.
However, a lot of it has to do with the environment. With the global warming crisis becoming a head-on problem, companies such as GMC are trying to help out. Cars aren't going to go away just because the earth's average temperature is rising. GMC isn't going to stop making vehicles either. That's why the company offers alternative fuel vehicles, which GMC is committed to.
GMC's website offers a ton of information on its alternative fuel vehicles such as fueling stations around the country, specs on cars and specific state requirements. Those looking for more information on the alternative fuel vehicles GMC has to offer can download brochures on each car from its website.
Let's look at some of the specific contributions GMC has made to the alternative fuel i
- GMC is producing 12 E85 FlexFuel vehicles for 2008. The company plans making half of its manufactured cars E85 or biodiesel by the year 2012.
- The GMC offers many different classes of vehicles, not just tiny commuter cars. The Chevy Tahoe, Suburban are just two of the 12 cars offered. These are two large-sized SUVs.
- GMC has partnered with SmartWay to create over 1,400 fueling stations (early 2008) and only plan on creating more and more as people demand more fueling stations.
- GMC offers companies the option of buying a fleet of cars to help reduce gas emissions.
GMC is committed to helping the environment by creating less greenhouse gas emissions. It does offer other alternative options such as its Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell. The car is run on a hydrogen fuel cell and its only waste product is water, making it a truly remarkable improvement. That means no emissions, no greenhouse gases, only water.
