Uꦉnion Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has said new vehicles will be introduced that run entirely on ethanol.

 Speaking at an event in Nag꧂pur on Sunday, the minister recalled that he recently met the chairman of Mercedes Benz company which launche🍷d an electric vehicle.

  "He (the chairman) told me they would make 𝔍electric vehicles only in future,” Gadkari said.

  “We are bring🐠ing new vehicles that will run entirely on ethanol. Bajaj, TVS and Hero scooters will run 100 per cent on ethanol," he said.

 The minist🍷er said he would launch Toyota company’s Camry car in August, which will run 100 per cent on ethanol and it will also generate 🌠40 per cent electricity.

   "If you compare it with petrol, it will be Rs 15 per litre of petrol because ethanol’s rate ꧅is Rs 60, while the rate of petrol is Rs 120 per litre. Plus it would generate 40 per cent electricit𓃲y. The average would be Rs 15 per litre,” he added.
