Bentley Cars Run On 100% Biofuel At Goodwood Festival Of Speed
this year, an event the organizers call the “ultimate summer garden party” for motorsports. One of them was a 103-year-old Bentley EXP2. Another was a Bentley Bentayga extended wheelbase SUV, towing 2.5 tons of straw.
“The fuel produced is 100 per cent renewable and delivers an estimated 85 per cent reduction in CO2 impact compared with conventional gasoline. By using waste materials that would otherwise be disposed of, second-generation biofuel avoids the ‘food versus fuel’ dilemma associated with first-generation biofuels.”It’s all part of Bentley’s “Beyond 100” strategy, which will see every new car it builds be either a plug-in hybrid or aby 2026.
Ongoing targets for further reductions include the factory’s energy consumption, CO2 emissions, wastewater, use of solvents in the paint process, and the achievement of plastic neutral status. The company intends to make Crewe a ‘climate positive factory’ by 2030 by actively reducing levels of carbon in the atmosphere attributable to its operations.learned engineering while working as a locomotive engineer at the Great Northern Railway.
One of the most iconic of all early Bentleys was the 4.5-liter supercharged car created by Tim Birkin. The company was then controlled by Woolf Bernato after the turbulent economic times brought on by the Depression saw W. O. ousted from the board of the company he founded. Bentley disapproved of the “blower Bentley” because he believed it would not have the sort of reliability cars that bore his name should have, and he was proven correct.
No one can argue that reducing well-to-wheel carbon emissions by 85% is not a good thing, but don’t get your hopes up that you will be able to keep your Belchfire 5000 running on biofuels 20 years from now — at least not at anything like the price of ordinary gasoline today. Biofuels are likely to cost three times as much as ordinary gasoline.
