The 15th anniversary is traditionally marked with crystal, symbolizing transparency, clarity and brilliance — qualities that perfectly reflect what we’re celebrating this month at ROUSH CleanTech. For 15 years, we’ve built a foundation of transparency in our operations, clarity in our products, and enduring relationships with our customers and partners. This milestone is not just about the years — it’s about the journey, the people and the progress that have brought us here.
As public entities, transit agencies have a big job: connect people, jobs and communities via safe modes of transportation. With finite, government-funded budgets, these organizations must be judicious in how they maximize fixed operational dollars while also doing mission-critical work. For over 15 years, we’ve seen a growing and important trend in the transit industry: adopting propane buses as a valuable way to save operational funds.
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Women in Propane Planning Retreat in Portland, Maine, and I’m thrilled about what’s ahead for our industry. Women in Propane (WIP) Council, an initiative of the National Propane Gas Association, was founded in 2012 to support the advancement and success of women in the propane industry. Through mentorship, networking and professional development, Women in Propane fosters a more inclusive propane industry for all industry professionals.

The current energy and transportation landscape feels like it’s changing, but let’s take a closer look at what’s really happening. While zero-emission vehicle technology continues to evolve, adjustments in regulations and incentives have brought the conversation back to a foundational principle that ROUSH CleanTech has been operating under all along: all energy sources are a good complement in the transportation sector. Fuel diversity is good. Choice is powerful.
Our team just returned from an informative and productive weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the National Propane Gas Association’s Southeast Propane Expo. It was a pleasure to spend quality time with our propane industry friends and partners, and I want to share some of the key takeaways from the weekend with you.
It was great seeing many of you last week at NTEA’s Work Truck Week in Indianapolis. I’m sure those who attended can agree that the keynote speech given by Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski) left quite a mark. With the NCAA’s March Madness around the corner, hearing from him felt more than appropriately timed.
Well, 2025 is off to quite a start regardless of which side of the aisle you are on.
The crude oil and natural gas tariffs and subsequent 30 day pause for Canada should drive us to look inward as a country and leverage the vast domestic energy resources at our fingertips.
Here’s some good news for you to start the new year: Propane autogas makes your ability to set — and meet — fiscal and emissions goals easy, especially in 2025 and beyond.
