LPG (90 hp / 67 kW) engines reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 12% compared with gasoline power, and offer lower emissions of criteria pollutants. LPG has a range of up to 1,200 km (746 miles) with a full tank of gasoline and a full tank of LPG. Servicing intervals are every 30,000 km (18,641 miles) or two years. The Dacia 1.4-liter

The standard FedEx trucks used in the retrofit program were 2000 or 2001 models with 300,000 to 500,000 miles driven. An added benefit of the conversion program is that it not only reduces pollution but also extends the life of the vehicles, helping to eliminate waste production and creating a reduce-and-reuse program.

Cold starts mean more pollution. The catalytic converter that keeps the ICE from being a gross polluter in conventional cars and hybrids however, isn't kept warm by the continual embrace of an ever-churning engine in a hybrid with all-electric range. To take one example, batteries. I am thrilled that Toyota is working on a plug-in.
