Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.

Слово встречается в следующем контексте:These figures show how big the market potential for bio-ethanol powered vehicles is. Ford Focus and Focus C-MAX flexifuel models are currently available in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Ireland, Austria, France, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Norway – with other markets to come.

Здравствуйте.

1. Flexfuel/flex-fuel/flexifuel = сокращение от "flexible fueled".

Flexible fueled vehicle = транспортное средство (у Вас - автомобиль), двигатель которого может работать на различных видах топлива.

"Flexifuel vehicles" = мультитопливные автомобили [первое слово можно взять в кавычки, но я бы не стал этого делать].

Вот пояснение с сайта одной из программ правительства США:
"A flexible fueled vehicle (FFV) has a single fuel tank, fuel system, and engine. The vehicle is designed to run on unleaded gasoline and an alcohol fuel (usually ethanol) in any mixture. The engine and fuel system in a flex-fuel vehicle must be adapted slightly to run on alcohol fuels because they are corrosive. There must also be a special sensor in the fuel line to analyze the fuel mixture and control the fuel injection and timing to adjust for different fuel compositions. The flex-fuel vehicle offers its owner an environmentally beneficial option whenever the alternative fuel is available.

Flex-fuel technology was created by Ford Motor Company in the mid-1980s. Flexible fueled vehicles (also called variable fuel vehicles) have been produced by Ford (Ranger, Crown Victoria and Taurus), GM (Chevy S-10 and GMC Sonoma), and Daimler-Chrysler (Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan)".

2. Bio-ethanol = биоэтанол, он же "горючее Е85" (85% этанола и 15% бензина).

"Bio-ethanol powered vehicles" = автомобили с
двигателями (, работающими) на биоэтаноле.

Всего доброго.
