Stellantis launches 100% ethanol-fueled vehicles at Goiana plant

In Brazil, on September 2, 2024, at the Goiana Automotive Center in Pernambuco, Brazil, Stellantis began fueling its Jeep and Fiat flex-fuel vehicles—including the Renegade, Compass, Commander, and Fiat Toro models equipped with T270 Flex and Turbo 270 Flex engines—with 100% ethanol directly from the assembly line, an initiative launched in the presence of Brazil’s Vice President, Geraldo Alckmin.

The Goiana factory, a key facility in Stellantis’ production network, plays a central role in this sustainability initiative. The plant is responsible for producing a range of Jeep and Fiat vehicles, and this new ethanol fueling practice is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 2,100 tons annually from the first fuel supply alone—a decrease of around 87% compared to traditional gasoline. By next year, all flex-fuel vehicles produced by Stellantis in Brazil will adopt this ethanol fueling practice.
