City of Springfield, Illinois converts 24 vehicles to propane autogas

Green Car Congress

MAY 23, 2013

We estimate our fuel savings in the first year alone to be more than $82,000. Transitioning our fleet to propane autogas was an extremely easy decision to make because we are saving taxpayer dollars, improving the environment through cleaner auto emissions and supporting a domestically produced fuel source.

Study suggests high-mileage light-duty fleets contribute higher emissions and emissions share than expected

Green Car Congress

MAY 4, 2016

For example, recent on-road emission measurements in California and other locations have shown that the 99 th percentile is responsible for more than a third of the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions and more than 15% of the nitric oxide (NO) emissions on a fuel-specific basis, and these imbalances continue to grow each year.
