Top 4 benefits of propane autogas

What is propane autogas?

Propane autogas is a clean and affordable fuel that’s safe to use in many kinds of road vehicles. Yet, it’s considered an alternative fuel in the United States. Already providing reliable power for over 250,000 vehicles nationwide, propane autogas has been proven to meet all your needs. Get the facts if you’re considering a conversion for your commercial fleet.

The importance of clean energy solutions

Sourcing a domestically produced fuel with minimal emissions used to seem impossible. Today’s propane-powered vehicles prove that propane is a great choice, with only a fraction of the nitrogen oxide and greenhouse gases coming from other fuels. Cenex® supplies this reliable fuel source and offers consultation services to help companies in numerous industries convert their vehicles and fleets.

What kind of vehicles rely on propane autogas?

Hundreds of thousands of vehicles on the road today are powered by propane autogas, so you’ve likely seen at least one without knowing it. This fuel is already commonly used across many industries for:

• School buses
• Delivery vans and trucks
• Paratransit vehicles
• First-responder vehicles
• Food delivery and catering trucks
• Commercial vans
• Municipal vehicles
• Pickup trucks for construction, landscaping and more

It’s not only a clean fuel, but it's also a safe one. With 1.5 million students riding propane-powered school buses every day, propane has been shown to be a safe fuel. Propane safety in today’s vehicles is designed to minimize potential risks that might arise during everyday operations.

The top 4 benefits of propane autogas

Propane has many advantages. Here are the top four.

1. Reduce fuel costs by 30% to 50%
   Prices fluctuate over time, but propane autogas is often 40% less expensive than gasoline. It can reach 50% less than diesel in price. Switching over could help you achieve substantial fuel savings, especially for larger fleets and bigger vehicles.
2. Enjoy the lowest total cost of ownership
   Propane-powered vehicles not only start effortlessly in cold weather and may offer a farther driving range than their gas counterparts, but they also require fewer repairs. The gas is clean burning, which reduces wear and fouling on parts throughout the fuel and combustion system. It’s also surprisingly affordable to adapt many vehicle models to run on propane autogas.
3. Experience safe and easy refueling
   Propane autogas dispensers make filling up with propane autogas safe, easy and convenient. The process is largely the same as filling up with gasoline, helping your drivers and fleet maintenance team adapt to the changes. Propane delivery is also available.
4. Decrease carbon emissions
   Take advantage of local and federal incentive programs for carbon emission reduction with tax credits, grants, rebates and more. Cenex can guide you through the process and help you identify further opportunities to decrease your carbon emissions. Propane autogas may also be sourced from renewable propane.
