Autogas wins ‘green’ award for alternative fuelSource: LPG Autogas
Greenfleet presented the accolade to highlight the company’s delivery and commitment to providing a reliable and readily available alternative fuel for the nation’s motorists. Vehicles running on LPG produce far fewer harmful emissions that contribute to environmental and health problems than traditional road fuels and LPG vehicles produce 17% less carbon dioxide than petrol and 2% less than diesel. In addition to its environmental benefits, LPG can also cut the cost of motoring as LPG currently retails at around half the price of petrol and diesel1 and offers up to 100 per cent exemption from the London Congestion Charge. Autogas Limited’s National Marketing Coordinator, Emma Bartle, says the case for LPG is continually gaining momentum with the ongoing trend for greener products coupled with the financial benefits for fleet managers. Emma explains: “We have seen increased interest from fleet managers in LPG mainly due to the desire to be more environmentally aware and, of course, the cost savings LPG can offer. Emma ads: “LPG is by far the most widely available alternative fuel available in the UK, so drivers will not be far from an LPG station. Our handy fuel locator booklets and downloadable files for SatNavs ensure motorists can easily find their nearest LPG refueling station. What’s more motorists have the added flexibility and peace of mind knowing that their vehicle is ‘dual fuel’ meaning it can also run on petrol.” There are now over 1,400 LPG stations across the UK to fuel over 160,000 vehicles now being powered by LPG and Autogas has made a commitment to continue to increase the number of forecourts offering LPG.
