Geely launches new methanol hybrid tech in Galaxy Xingyao 6 E-fuel

Geely's pitch rests on two claims that matter for methanol's viability as an alternative fuel: cold-start performance without gasoline preheating, and running costs that undercut conventional fuels. The multi-fuel capability positions the car for markets where methanol infrastructure exists rather than as a broad gasoline replacement. Whether the cold-start claim holds in real-world conditions and whether methanol refueling access keeps pace with vehicle sales are the open questions.
