Customer Testimonials
“We want our customers and community to know that we are investing in them and working hard to meet our sustainability goals. With propane autogas, we’re doing just that with a domestically produced fuel that lowers emissions across our delivery area.” — Chuck Paterakis, vice president of transportation and logistics, H&S Bakery (Maryland)
“ROUSH CleanTech provided our company mechanics with training at no cost and continues to support all our locations on additional training needs. In cases where hands-on training was a better fit for us, they were quick to support with field technicians that work on these trucks daily. The training program with ROUSH CleanTech has been a big success within our team.” — Eric McCann, senior technical fleet manager, Bimbo Bakeries USA (Pennsylvania)

Engines
We engineer our fuel technology solely based on Ford engines. ROUSH CleanTech’s fuel systems retain all quality Ford performance characteristics, such as horsepower, torque and towing.
The Ford 7.3L engine is compact, durable and easy to maintain. This Gen 5 engine is:
- Integrated into our propane autogas fuel system seamlessly to give fleet customers the most cost-effective product on the market.
- Ideally suited for class 4-7 propane autogas applications.
- Packaged well with commercial fleet chassis.
- Serviced with greater ease.
FUEL TANKS
Our F-53 and F-59 models come with a 45 usable-gallon tank (up to 260 miles) that maximizes mileage and eliminates range anxiety (extended range options are available). Plus, ROUSH CleanTech propane autogas fuel tanks are the safest in the industry. Fuel mileage may vary based on GVWR, applications, driver habits and duty cycles.
