Same Bays. Same Tools. Same Technicians.
Propane autogas vehicles are serviced in the facilities you already have, with the tools and teams you already have. What goes away is the diesel complexity — no DPF, no DEF, no regeneration cycles, no block heaters, no fuel gelling in winter.
Leave Diesel Maintenance Complexity Behind
Modern diesel emissions systems rely on multiple components, fluids, filters, and sensors to operate. Propane autogas takes a simpler approach, using a three-way catalyst without DPF or DEF requirements. Fewer systems to manage can mean simpler maintenance and less opportunity for downtime.
Where Fleets Spend Time & Money
Maintenance affects more than the repair budget. See how propane autogas can simplify routine service, reduce downtime, and lower ongoing infrastructure demands.

Keep Your Existing Maintenance Facility
Propane autogas vehicles can typically be serviced in the same facilities used for gasoline and diesel fleets, with little to no modification when applicable codes are met. That means existing service bays, tools, and equipment can generally stay in use — helping make the transition to propane autogas simpler and more cost-effective. Always consult your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to confirm applicable facility, ventilation, electrical, and safety requirements.
Service and Support, Already in Place
Propane autogas fleets are supported by a growing network of OEMs, service providers, and trained technicians, helping fleets access the maintenance and technical support they need.
