Why Propane Autogas? Domestically Produced Over 90% Abundant and Available Reduction in Carbon Footprint Low Entry Cost; Truck Technology, Storage/Maintenance, and Refueling Product Compatibility 14,500lb 33,000lb GVWR Fuel Rate Near Equal to Gasoline and Diesel Low Maintenance Costs No Diesel After Treatments Minimal Impact to Fleet; Functionality; Operation, and Maintenance Serviceable with Existing Equipment no CNG shop safety upgrades 45-50 usable gallons without impacting the truck or payload Serviceable by one of the nation s largest service network Ford Motor Co. Reduction in Fuel Cost 40-50%
Wholesale Fuel Costs The perfect storm: Dec 13 Jan 14 1. Wet fall causing farmers in the mid-west to use more LP with agriculture to dry crops (totally unexpected volume) 2.Cochin Pipeline in MN went down at the worse time and couldn t get fixed during these couple of months 3. Winter storm i.e. road closures, snow drifts etc. made it very difficult for transporting tankers to get through ** AmeriGas has taken measures to prevent that event repeating itself
Propane Fueling Infrastructure Propane stations generally cost as little as $50,000 and much less with existing MHE infrastructure and LPG provider agreements Propane stations can be installed within weeks Permits can be approved over the counter
