Automotive Propane: Fuel Smart

Make the change to propane autogas for your vehicles.

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. Its popularity comes from many reasons, namely the fact that propane burns cleaner than gasoline or diesel. In a world that is becoming more eco-conscious every day, this is a huge plus. Ultimately it means fewer emissions, making it far less toxic overall.

In addition, it is cheaper and less taxing on engines, which means not only will you have lower fuel costs, but using propane also saves on maintenance costs and creates longer engine life.

Available at Harriston, Teeswater, Hanover and Durham branches.

A Greener Public Transit Fuel

Taking public transit is a great green option to get around. However, it can be made even more environmentally friendly, and cost effective, through the use of efficient, reliable, and affordable propane autogas. Propane autogas has significant benefits which 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.

Efficient & Clean Forklift Fuel

Propane is a popular choice for forklifts because it provides consistent 100% power throughout operation and is relatively clean-burning compared to other fuel options. They are known for their efficiency and long run times, typically operating for an entire shift on a single tank of propane, which makes them suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications. 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. Propane forklifts generally require less maintenance compared to diesel or gasoline-powered forklifts.

Fleets and Light-Duty Truck Fuel With Better Performance & Economy

Propane offers a 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. Finally, propane engines tend to run cleaner, resulting in less carbon buildup and fewer maintenance issues over time.

Government and Public Works Vehicle Fuel For Cleaner Communities

Propane fuels public health and protection, as the reliable, affordable, and green alternative fuel source with the proven ability to meet the performance needs of high-mileage, long-runtime vehicles. Law enforcement (police, security, and traffic enforcement), highway department, city utility, and public works vehicles all benefit from propane energy.

Clean-Burning Fuel For 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. Clean-burning propane is a trusted fuel for our future - it not only meets the requirements of a clean and green alternative fuel, but surpasses expectations by also providing significant cost savings and extending engine life.
