The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) recently released a new online resource for fleet owners interested in lowering maintenance costs and downtime.
The council said the new resource highlights the ease of propane autogas vehicle maintenance.
“Propane autogas provides fleets with the lowest total cost-of-ownership, and a big reason for that is because of its low maintenance and infrastructure costs, including those for garage and maintenance facilities,” said Steve Whaley, director of autogas business development at PERC. “Our newest resource showcases how fleets can transform their maintenance for the better with propane autogas.”
The free guide, available at propane.com, outlines the main benefits of propane autogas vehicle maintenance, including its cost benefits, reduced downtime and simplified winter maintenance. It also highlights the ease of servicing propane autogas vehicles compared to diesel, gasoline and electric, PERC maintained.
Fleet owners also can learn about the “virtually seamless” transition for maintenance crews. There is no additional certification training required for working on propane autogas vehicles and, as long as existing buildings are code compliant for gasoline and diesel, most fleets won’t need to modify their garaging or maintenance facilities.
Fleets should check with their local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for questions about their facility, PERC added.
The guide is now available in PERC’s maintenance online learning page. Visit propane.com/fleet-vehicles for more information.
