Ford F-250 concept monster uses tri-fuels

Detroit, Michigan -- Ford has introduced a concept car designed to run on three flex fuels: hydrogen, E85 ethanol or conventional gasoline/petrol. The aggressive front end design is inspired by a railway locomotive, but underneath the bonnet is a state-of-the-art fuel system.

In a press release, Ford said, "The Tri-Flex system leverages existing powertrain technologies in which Ford has long held leadership. Since 1996, Ford has led in production and sales of flex-fuel E85 ethanol/gasoline vehicles. Ford has built more than 1.6 million flex-fuel vehicles that operate on any mix of E85 and gasoline."

Ford said, "In December 2005, a flex-fuel capable version of the F-150 pickup went into production. Ford has committed to building more than 250,000 flex-fuel vehicles in 2006. Ford flex-fuel vehicles offer the customer convenience of filling one tank with E85 and/or gasoline."
