Autogas is helping public sector fleets reduce both costs and emissions

The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina converted 10 patrol vehicles to Autogas and installed on-site refuelling infrastructure as part of a fleet modernisation programme.

The results were significant:

• More than $13,000 in annual fuel cost savings
• 20 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions avoided each year
• Approximately 17,000 gallons of Autogas used annually
• Patrol vehicles operating nearly 25,000 miles per year

The fleet also reported no noticeable difference in vehicle performance, while benefiting from bi-fuel technology that allows vehicles to switch between Autogas and gasoline when needed. The combined operating range was estimated at 500-600 miles.

For law enforcement and other high-mileage fleets, Autogas continues to demonstrate its value as a practical, proven and cost-effective transport fuel.
