An overview of the physical and chemical properties which affect combustion efficiency and exhaust emissions of engines is given for several alternative fuels considered to be candidates for use in the future. Applications of four of these fuels in Ford vehicles is described, including the ethanol production vehicles in Brazil, the 40-car methanol fleet in California, the AFV (Alternative Fuel Vehicle) show car, and the 1982 dedicated LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) production vehicle.
