For four plus decades, fleet owners have selected propane as the energy solution for their vehicles to lower their operating costs, clean up their communities with reduced emissions, and meet the needs of their duty cycles. From coast to coast, propane technology is providing thousands of fleet owners with the confidence they need to make the next run.

DDA Transport introduced six propane-fueled straight trucks to its fleet, joining a growing number of USPS mail contractors that trust propane vehicles to reliably deliver the mail across the country.

In southeast Florida, Broward County residents are enjoying cleaner air and less noise thanks to Broward County Transit’s addition of propane autogas vehicles to its fleet. “We’ve emitted 18 million fewer pounds of carbon dioxide emissions in the past five years with our propane fleet,” said Paul Strobis, director of paratransit for Broward County Transit.

Nicholas Trucking Co. Inc., an 80-year-old, family-owned Pennsylvania-based USPS mail contractor, is operating its first propane autogas vehicles in its fleet.

To keep up with growth, Zionsville Community Schools has increased bus routes using propane autogas. The suburban public school district, which is located outside Indianapolis, is now operating 33 new propane school buses.
