standard EN 228.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved e xclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel
(BioFlex vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must comply with European standard EN 15376.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed to run on fuels co ntaining up to 100 % ethanol (type E100).
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engine s
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible with b iofuels which conform to current and future Europea n standards (diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a bi ofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) which can be distributed at
the pumps (possible incorporation of 0 to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to t he
