Autogas vehicle technology is available now.
The U.S. has an expansive infrastructure of Autogas
fueling stations already exceeding 2,500 stations across
the country and growing daily. As the U.S.
Department of Energy continues to incentivize
alternative fuel development, the Autogas fueling
network will continue to expand.
Autogas vehicle technology is established, proven and
endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency in
several vehicle applications. Autogas vehicles are
available for OEM equivalent purchase, as well as
aftermarket vehicle conversions for both dedicated and
bi-fuel systems.
Autogas has proven to be a cleaner, safer and cheaper
fuel than gasoline or diesel. Numerous countries have
been leading the way in advancing Autogas-powered
vehicles – the United States is not among them.
According to studies released in 2005 and 2009 by the
World Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (WLPGA), the
global propane industry authority, the U.S. Autogas
market has remained largely unchanged over the last
decade. In contrast, most countries saw a substantial
increase in Autogas vehicles, even those that had little
to no Autogas vehicle market in 2000.
