Why consider propane gas?
Economics: Save Big and Boost Your Bottom Line
Propane offers significant cost savings compared to gasoline or diesel, with prices generally 40–60% lower per litre. Fleets switching to propane can save thousands of dollars annually, making it an economical choice for long-term fleet efficiency.
Emissions: Breathe Easier with Cleaner Air
Propane drastically reduces harmful emissions, shrinking your environmental footprint:
- 70% fewer smog-producing hydrocarbons
- 50% less carbon monoxide
- 20% less nitrogen oxide
- 12% less carbon dioxide
Cleaner emissions mean better air quality and a healthier environment for everyone.
Safety: Engineered for Peace of Mind
Propane is a safe alternative fuel, offering a range of safety benefits:
- Low working pressure and narrow flammability range
- Higher ignition temperature reduces fire risks
- Propane tanks are 20 times more puncture-resistant than gasoline or diesel tanks and are rigorously tested to withstand up to four times their normal operating pressure
Widespread, Low-Cost Infrastructure
Propane is readily available across North America, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective supply chain.
Why Choose Natural Gas?
Cleaner Energy with Reduced Emissions
Natural gas is primarily methane (CH4), a fuel with high energy content and low carbon emissions. Compared to diesel:
- 20–25% reduction in greenhouse gases (GHG)
- Virtually no particulates
- Substantial reductions in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx)
This means no smell, no smoke, and quieter operation compared to diesel engines.
Cost-Effective, Proven Technology
Natural gas is a safe and reliable alternative, supported by established technologies for vehicles and equipment. Thousands of natural gas-powered vehicles are already on the road, demonstrating its practicality and cost-effectiveness.
Eliminates Diesel Exhaust Systems
Natural gas eliminates the need for expensive diesel exhaust treatment systems, simplifying operations and reducing maintenance costs.
