1. Bivalent

   A bivalent engine is an engine that can use two different types of fuel. Examples are petroleum/CNG and petroleum/LPG engines, which are widely available in the European passenger vehicle aftermarket. Bivalent engines can also use hydrogen fuel, as demonstrated by the BMW H7 Series, which has a bivalent V12 engine, and the BMW Hydrogen 7, which is more fuel efficient than the standard H7 Series engine.

Examples of bivalent in a Sentence

1. Ran Balicer:

   I am not in any risk group, and I’m below 65, so I did not hurry to take my bivalent.

2. Peter Hotez:

   My only question is why the 65 year age cutoff? What was that based on? Ordinarily I would have preferred that it be brought down to 60 or even 50, for those Americans who understand its importance, we should make second bivalent boosters available. Finally, we’ll soon need guidance about another annual fall booster. Presumably that information comes sometime this summer.

3. Silvia Taylor:

4. Penny Ward:

5. Peter Hotez:

   If you’ve not gotten that bivalent booster, I don’t think the original vaccinations are going to protect all that well against XBB.1.5.
