Buses and taxis to run on ethanol

The Cámara Nacional de Transporte (Canatra) has signed an agreement with a company to supply taxis and buses with an ethanol-based fuel known as M4.

The fuel will be distributed through 49 outlets around the country and cost around $2 per gallon. The new fuel offers a higher performance than gasoline, according to Canatra, and has its official permits.

Ethanol is a fuel that is derived from alcohol and has long been used in internal combustion engines.
