Jeremy Wishart, Propane Education and Research Council, presented an overview on Propane Autogas Basics and Benefits for our Propane Autogas Roundtable in Oak Creek, WI.

1. PROPANE AUTOGAS
How an Alternative Fuel is Winning
on Total Cost of Ownership

2. WHAT CHALLENGES ARE
FLEETS FACING TODAY?

3. Challenges Facing Fleets
• Escalating vehicle costs
• More complicated diesel emissions systems
• Unpredictable conventional fuel prices
• More downtime
• Increasing total cost of ownership and longer ROI

4. WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?

5. Propane Autogas Can Be the Solution
• Economics
• Low upfront fuel and refueling infrastructure costs.
• Less downtime due to weather, service, repairs, and vehicle
operation.
• Lowest total cost of ownership.
• Environmental
• Clean, nontoxic fuel.
• Doesn’t contaminate air, land or water resources.
• Social
• Lower emissions help protect our environment.
• American-made fuel reduces dependence on foreign oil.
• Quiet operation enhances passenger and public safety.

6. HOW DOES PROPANE AUTOGAS
LOWER EMISSIONS?

7. Propane Autogas Reduces Emissions
• 25% fewer greenhouse gas
emissions than vehicles running on
gasoline.
• 80% fewer smog-producing
hydrocarbon emissions than
vehicles running on diesel.

8. HOW DOES PROPANE
AUTOGAS LOWER TCO?

9. Look at the Big Picture
