Saab BioPower: Pure Adventure
Saab created BioPower technology for drivers who want it all: turbo-charged performance plus the satisfaction of helping the environment.
Our BioPower flex-fuel models run on both petrol and bioethanol, the world’s most effective eco-friendly fuel. Right now, Saab BioPower cars can reduce typical auto emissions of fossil carbon dioxide by up to 70% using E85 bioethanol (85% bioethanol, 15% petrol).
No compromises
You don't have to give up any bhp to go green. In fact, bioethanol's higher octane rating combined with Saab ingenuity creates even higher engine performance:
- Bhp increases by 20%
- Torque increases 15% - 25%
No hassle
Saab BioPower cars can easily run on petrol alone or petrol and bioethanol in any proportion - no adjustments required.
No doubt about the benefit
A typical petrol consumer drives 15,000 km per year on 1,350 litres of petrol.
Over the same distance, a typical BioPower driver would use 1,755 litres of E85 bioethanol, which contains only 263 litres of petrol.
So every BioPower driver could reduce petrol usage (and harmful emissions) by 1,087 litres per year.
