Saab created BioPower technology for drivers who want it all: turbo-charged performance plus the satisfaction of helping the environment.

Our BioPower flexi-fuel powered cars run on both petrol and bioethanol, one of the world’s most exciting and effective alternative fuels. Right now, Saab BioPower environmental 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 with a flexi-fuel car. In fact, bioethanol's higher octane rating combined with Saab ingenuity creates even higher engine performance. Typically, when the 2.0t BioPower engine is fuelled with bioethanol E85 alone:

>> Bhp increases by 20%
>> Torque increases 16%

No hassle

Saab BioPower environmental cars can easily run on petrol alone or petrol and bioethanol in any proportion up to bioethanol E85 (85% bioethanol, 15% petrol) - no adjustments required.

No doubt about the benefit

According to Swedish research, 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.
