most people know propane is the fuel that is used in their outdoor grill or
or the energy that heats their home
what most people don't know
is that it's also the world's most popular alternative vehicle fuel
more than nineteen million vehicles worldwide run on auto gas
but only about two hundred thousand are here in the united states
Autogas can be used for a variety of vehicle platforms including cars, light
and medium duty trucks and some heavy-duty applications
Propane autogas is classified as a clean alternative fuel under the
1990 clean air act. In fact autogas can reduce harmful emissions by
more than thirty percent.
Autogas is reliable it's cost-effective and ninety-eight percent is made right
here in america.
It's a safe fuel and autogas tanks are in fact twenty times more puncture
resistant the gasoline tanks which is vital for high mileage and law
enforcement fleets.
Also,
propane autogas fueling stations are very portable for fleets
especially
compared to CNG pumping facilities which can cost upwards of one point five
million dollars a piece.
You can actually build twenty autogas stations for the price but just one cng
station.
For many organizations a return on investment can be achieved in as little
as one year with Autogas technology
and for the past seven years
propane auto gas has averaged approximately a dollar fifty less per
gallon than gasoline.
Fortunately
refueling autogas vehicles is just as quick as filling up with gasoline
and unlike many alternative fuels autogas deliver similar performance in
driving range relative to gasoline vehicles.
Fleets can convert existing vehicles to run on on autogas
or purchase new Autogas vehicles.
Propane autogas conversions typically cost about half as much as natural gas
vehicle conversions
and companies like Alliance Autogas will even install a fueling station at no upfront
cost. Alliance also provides all the training an ongoing support fleets need
to launch and sustain
a successful autogas program.
Autogas is a domestic,
viable alternative fuel that's available right here
right now.
