Saab continues to enjoy great success with its innovative BioPower model range and is now rated as the number one supplier in Europe of flex-fuel cars capable of running on renewable and sustainable fuel source bioethanol E85. This success in Europe is driven by the popularity of Saab BioPower in Saab’s home market of Sweden.
In 2006, Saab sold some 11,000 BioPower cars in Sweden, whilst 6,800 9-3 and 9-5 BioPower models were delivered to Swedish customers in the first five months of 2007. This sales pace was maintained in June, when the newly-launched Saab 9-3 BioPower range came top of the Swedish environmentally-friendly sales charts, giving Saab an impressive 38 per cent market share in that segment.
Saab is firmly established as a technology leader in realising the full potential of bioethanol E85 as a fuel. This expertise leverages Saab’s unrivalled experience in turbo charging, making it possible to deliver enhanced performance as well as greatly reduced fossil CO2 emissions – an achievement that no other environmentally-friendly vehicle in the world has thus far been able to match.
