• Pure ethanol engines are banned in Brazil.

• The government mandates the use of flex fuel engines.

• There is no demand for pure gasoline engines.

• Flex fuel engines are the only option available for the same model.

How do ethanol emissions compare to those of gasoline and diesel cars?

• Ethanol emissions are negligible.

• Ethanol emissions are higher than gasoline and diesel.

• Ethanol emissions are the same as gasoline and diesel.

• Ethanol emissions are lower than gasoline and diesel.

What is a potential risk for Brazil if it does not move towards electrification?

• Brazil will become a leader in electric vehicle technology.

• Brazil will face obsolescence in its automotive industry.

• Brazil will increase its gasoline consumption.

• Brazil will dominate the global car market.

What is one proposed solution for Brazilian car makers to stay competitive?

• Focus solely on gasoline engines.

• Introduce hybrid cars combining flex fuel and electric technology.

• Export all car production to China.

• Stop producing flex fuel cars.
