Methanol Blended Trials Show Promising Results for Indian Transport

A three‑month field test involving Karnataka’s public‑bus fleet used a 15% methanol mix and reported stable performance, no significant engine trouble and comparable mileage. In parallel, Ashok Leyland has prototyped engines that can run on 100% methanol, signalling that commercial‑grade technology is nearing readiness. The positive outcomes are bolstering confidence in methanol’s scalability across the transport sector.
