It’s no secret that the world is quickly and rapidly going green. People, companies and homes are increasingly opting for environmentally friendly alternatives that reduce greenhouse emissions. One way that people are reducing their carbon footprint is by turning to propane autogas.
Propane autogas is an alternative to using gasoline or diesel fuel for your vehicle. Fueling millions of vehicles worldwide, propane autogas is considered green, clean and efficient, as it releases less carbon-based emissions. In fact, when compared to a gasoline or diesel fueled vehicle, a vehicle using propane autogas releases 60% less carbon monoxide, 20% less nitrogen oxides and up to 24% less greenhouse gas. It is also 20% to 50% cheaper per gallon than both gasoline and diesel fuel.

With all the obvious benefits of propane autogas, it’s no wonder that making the switch from gasoline or diesel to the clean fuel is becoming more common.
Propane autogas is not new. In fact, it’s been around for almost a decade. However, more and more businesses are discovering just how advantageous using the fuel can be.
Fleet managers are among the people making the switch to propane autogas fuel for their service vans, truck fleets, school buses, forklifts and mowing and lawn equipment. Fleet managers who are using propane autogas are going above and beyond to keep their bus riders safe. That’s due to the fact that buses fueled by propane autogas meet the U.S. FMVSS motor vehicle safety standards and allow the driver to maintain a higher level of concentration since they are quieter than buses fueled by diesel.
