Drive Savings for Your Fleet, and Receive Up to $47,500
Qualified fleets can receive $7,500 for up to five eligible propane autogas vehicles, plus up to $10,000 for refueling site prep. In return, put the vehicles into regular operation and share performance data quarterly for one year.
Turn Propane Autogas Into a Competitive Advantage
Propane autogas offers fleets a practical way to control fuel costs, simplify vehicle maintenance, and support reliable day-to-day operations. For fleets ready to put propane autogas to work, the Propane Autogas Research Program can help offset the upfront investment.
Qualified commercial fleets can add eligible Class 2-7 propane autogas vehicles to their operations. Then, it’s business as usual: keep the vehicles in service and report fuel use, maintenance costs, downtime, and reliability quarterly for one year.
