Posted at 05:41, 2008-Jan-7

What a great way to start the year! Thailand was motivated to draw close to sustainable mobility as petrol stations in Bangkok started proposing E20 fuel for the first time ever. According to Ford.com, the extensive accessibility of the alternative fuel, the E20 fuel, is propped up by Ford Thailand as piece of the Ford Motor Company’s alternative energy strategy.

"The Ford Focus is the first car in Thailand engineered to reliably use E20 fuel, so it is no coincidence that the first car to fill its fuel tank with E20 fuel is a Ford Focus," says Saroj Kiatfuengfoo, the senior vice president of Ford Thailand.

E20 fuel lessens greenhouse gas emissions recognized in vehicle application. Ford Thailand distributed Baht 1020 of E20 fuel to 100 Ford Focus customers at the PTT petrol station on the expressway in Bang Na area to celebrate and to support the use of E20 fuel.

"We congratulate our customers who are now able to use the E20-compatible Ford Focus to its full potential and capabilities," said Kiatfuengfoo. “This is an important step toward sustainable mobility in Thailand. Ford has been working to develop and offer affordable technology that enables our vehicles to use alternative and renewable fuels.”
