LPG benefits

Lower emissions, lower costs

Automotive LPG or Autogas is the most accessible alternative fuel available to petrol and diesel in the UK today. Thousands of pounds are saved each year by drivers and fleet operators by switching to LPG. This includes cars, vans, taxis and even buses whilst benefiting the environment.

Driving an LPG vehicle is safe, easy and best of all, much cheaper than driving a petrol or diesel model. Recent independent tests have also shown that out of the three fuels, LPG has the best environmental record.

In addition to the cost savings, running vehicles on LPG sends a positive environmental message about your organisation.

There are currently around 11 million drivers worldwide using LPG. They are producing less harmful emissions than those driving petrol or diesel, whilst making significant savings at the pumps.

In the UK, LPG costs around half the price of petrol and diesel, usually resulting in annual savings of around 40% in fuel costs.

What is LPG?

Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a natural hydrocarbon fuel made up of Propane and Butane. When stored under pressure it becomes a dense liquid allowing large quantities of gas to be stored in a relatively small space.

Approximately 60% of the world's supply is produced from the separation of gas products, with the remaining 40% produced in the refining of crude oil. The UK currently exports around 45% of its LPG production, meaning there is security of supply.
