During the project, nine BEST sites introduced more than 77,000 FFVs, far exceeding the original target of 10,000 vehicles. In 2008, of the 170,000 flexifuel vehicles operating in Europe, 45% were located at BEST sites; and of the 2,200 E85 pumps installed in the EU, 80% were in BEST countries. Sweden accounted for 70% of all flexifuel vehicles operating in the EU. BEST sites also evaluated both dedicated E85 pumps and flexifuel pumps, reporting very few problems.
