Automotive Propane: Fuel Smart

Across the nation and throughout the world, businesses and organizations are realizing the benefits of switching from gasoline or diesel to propane autogas to fuel their vehicles and equipment. Propane burns cleaner than gasoline or diesel—which means fewer emissions—and is non-toxic. In addition, it is cheaper and easier on engines, which means not only lower fuel costs but also savings on maintenance costs and longer engine life. Because propane qualifies as an alternative fuel source, businesses and organizations using propane autogas are also eligible for various tax credits, rebates, and incentive programs. It is also readily available from domestic sources, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and is safer than gasoline, diesel, and compressed natural gas fuel. And, best of all, there is no compromise in terms of performance.

Public Transit

Taking public transit, already known to be a greener option than driving, can be made even more environmentally friendly—and cost effective—through the use of efficient, reliable, and affordable propane autogas. The already significant benefits of propane autogas are exponentially increased when used in high-mileage vehicles that require frequent idling, such as those used for public transportation. With reduced greenhouse gas, lower fuel costs, and proven performance, set yourself apart with autogas.

Powering Forklifts

Propane is a clean-burning fuel that is more economical, environmentally-friendly, efficient, reliable, and contains a high domestic availability. Propane forklifts maintain consistent, 100-percent power throughout operation. They have the ability to push and pull heavy loads at full capacity, up and down inclines, for a longer amount of time, and with better ground speeds than electric forklifts.

Fleets and Light-Duty Trucks

Smart fuel for fleets of all sizes. Many businesses using fleets of vehicles or even just one or two light-duty trucks are turning to propane autogas as their fuel source. That’s because this clean alternative fuel has a proven track record of offering significant advantages over both traditional and other alternative fuels. These advantages come in the form of economy, performance and convenience, safety, and a positive impact on the environment and the economy.

Government and Public Works

Propane fuels public health and protection. Propane is the reliable, affordable, and green alternative fuel with the proven ability to meet the performance needs of high-mileage, long-runtime vehicles, such as law enforcement (police, security, and traffic enforcement), highway department, city utility, and public works vehicles. Even propane-fueled street sweepers are now available, resulting in cleaner air and streets—and tax credits for operators.

School Buses

When it comes to transporting our children, reliability, safety, and cleanliness are top priority. A decade ago, a study found that the air inside school buses was significantly dirtier than the air outside, partly as a result of diesel fumes, highlighting the need for a cleaner fuel source. Clean-burning propane not only meets the requirements of a clean and green alternative fuel, it goes beyond expectations by also providing significant cost savings and extending engine life. Propane offers a trusted fuel for our future.
