America’s Big Three - General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Chrysler - have met their pledge to produce 50-percent of their new vehicles as flexible fuel vehicles by 2012. Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen says ethanol-ready vehicles are essential if Americans are to reduce dependence on imported oil. Dinneen says investment in FFVs, blender pumps and other infrastructure is necessary to maximize the benefits of using a homegrown renewable fuel. He says the RFA commends the Big Three for living up to their commitment and challenges other automakers to follow their lead.
