(NAPSI)-Gas prices are getting more and more pumped up. That's why Americans looking for a less costly way to get around are taking a closer look at alternative-fuel autos.
Today, automakers offer more than 40 different models of alternative-fuel autos, including some that run on hybrid technology or fuels such as clean diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, hydrogen or compressed natural gas. Eight million alternative-fuel autos are on the road today, and automakers hope to sell more than 2 million more by 2008.
Alternative-fuel autos and the alternative-fuel supplies must be developed in harmony. Automakers are working with the energy industry to develop a range of alternative fuels capable of sustaining mobility while ensuring more secure energy sources. Much of the alternative-fuel industry is homegrown, using American materials to power cars on American roads. Many automakers have launched joint ventures to develop fuels such as ethanol, biomass and hydrogen.
