Toyota Motor Corp. has developed a prototype Prius hybrid with a flex-fuel engine that can run on gasoline or ethanol.
The carmaker also points out that the Prius concept’s ability to operate in all-electric mode helps deliver greater range when the car is using ethanol, a less efficient fuel than gasoline. Toyota says it will use the prototype hybrid to collect real-world performance and powertrain durability data before putting the car into production.
