As the push for sustainable practices intensifies, fleet operators face crucial decisions regarding alternative fuels. Propane and electric vehicles (EVs) are the two pre-eminent options. Understanding where these fuels intersect and how they will impact fleet operations in the coming years is essential for making informed choices.
Propane, particularly for Class 4-7 trucks and buses, offers a “no compromise” solution. It provides versatility with minimal impact on payload and range, comparable to traditional fuels. Propane is abundant, ensuring stable fuel prices and significant savings.
This spring, recently released reports shed light on the state of transportation fuels and technology. Here’s a look at some of the key facts and findings to help your teams consider how to move toward sustainability over the next few years.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Spearfish, South Dakota, to enjoy the unveiling of the state’s first-ever propane buses. We celebrated not one, but two, transit agencies that have made the economical and environmentally responsible decision to integrate propane vehicles into their fleet.
