Considering a fleet upgrade?
Switching to propane not only benefits the environment; it may also improve your bottom line. With up to 56,000 miles of pipeline and more than 6,000 retail dealer locations, propane is readily available throughout the country. Propane is also the only alternative fuel with fueling stations located in every state.
Approved by the Environmental Protection Agency as a clean, low-carbon alternative fuel, propane leads all transportation fuels in producing the lowest greenhouse gas emissions (U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center). Propane is nontoxic, so it's not harmful to soil or water, and is listed in both the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 for being one of the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels.
President Obama's new stimulus package, which encourages municipalities to use alternatively fueled vehicles, offers government grants to cover a portion of the cost of establishing propane refueling infrastructures
The government encourages the use of cleaner-burning propane for fueling motor vehicles.
Since 2006, numerous Propane Motor Fuel Tax Credits and Incentives have been offered by the IRS. As of 2008, these credits can be claimed in periods of up to weekly, making the switch to propane a very convenient decision.
Pump up jobs with the Propane Gas Act
We all want to create more jobs in our country, so it's time we get up and do something about it! Let's get behind the Propane Gas Act, legislation that will help create 30,000 to 40,000 new jobs for Americans while reducing our dependance on foreign oil and saving us major 'green,' both on paper and in the environment.
Fleets operating on alternative fuels such as propane can now take advantage of income tax credits of up to 50 cents per gallon.
