FUELING INDEPENENCE
America lags far behind the rest of the world in using cleaner, economical autogas. Autogas for America is driving immediate change in the fuel that our vehicle fleets choose – from gasoline or diesel to cleaner-burning autogas. We will eliminate thousands of tons of harmful emissions, foster a green economy and reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil. As the unified voice of the U.S. autogas market, we’re working toward a clean break from foreign oil.
SUPPORT AMERICAS AUTOGAS
The combination of a low-carbon, clean-burning fuel that powers our economy while providing employment and reducing our trade deficit is a win-win-win for the people of America and the businesses they work for. Propane is demonstrating that it is an important part of a winning strategy for fueling America’s future.
PROPANE AUTOGAS vs ELECTRIC
Studies have debunked the common perception that EVs are “zero-emissions” vehicles and offer the lowest emissions in medium- and heavy-duty fleet vehicles. In most of the United States, propane autogas produces fewer emissions than comparable electric vehicles. Among other benefits compared to electric vehicles, autogas is reliable in all climates. From extreme temperatures to hurricane season, you can count on autogas to always perform.
In a comparative analysis conducted by the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), researchers found propane-powered medium- and heavy-duty vehicles provide a lower carbon footprint solution in 38 US states and Washington, DC when compared to medium- and heavy-duty EVs charged using the electric grid in those states.
