Reduce Your Fleet Fueling Costs with Propane Autogas

Affordable propane, lower maintenance costs, and efficient on-site refueling.

fleet fueling Mountain Top, PA When you manage an extensive commercial vehicle fleet, you face so many challenges to your profitability. Keeping your fuel costs low and your vehicles on the road is vital. This is true whether you’re managing delivery trucks, service vehicles, shuttlebuses or any other type of fleet.

How are you supposed to get ahead of the interconnected issues of fuel price surges, time lost for refueling and downtime while your engines undergo maintenance?
The answer for many commercial fleets in Mountain Top, Hazleton and other parts of Central or Southeastern Pennsylvania is propane autogas. Koppy’s Propane helps clients in this region convert from gas and diesel to clean, American-made autogas. The reductions in your fleet fueling expenses are considerable. Let’s discuss three of the most significant savings benefits.

Lower-Cost, U.S.-Made Fleet Fuel

Energy markets are unpredictable. In particular, the markets for crude oil distillates like diesel fuel and gasoline are vulnerable to such global threats as wars, international supply chain disruptions and OPEC production cuts. Propane is almost entirely U.S.-made. Consequently, its price tends to be lower and more stable than other transportation fuels.

Alliance AutoGas has found that fleet managers can save between 30% and 50% on propane compared to gasoline and diesel. Those savings add up quickly!

More Uptime and Lower Maintenance Costs

You need to keep your vehicles on the road if you want to stay productive and profitable. But there are so many maintenance concerns that can negatively impact your bottom line.

Propane autogas has some substantial benefits for fleet operations, particularly when temperatures plummet. Winters in our region can get brutally cold, leading to fuel thickening in tanks and cold start issues. These problems are virtually nonexistent with autogas, which does not “gel,” even in extended freezing conditions.

Autogas also burns more cleanly than gasoline or diesel, leaving fewer harmful deposits on engines. The result: less downtime for vehicle maintenance and fewer mechanic expenses. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center has also found that autogas engines have a longer service life than gasoline engines.

On-Site Fleet Fueling with Autogas

How much time, energy and money do you waste by having your employees line up to refuel their vehicles at service stations? How long do you spend reconciling and reimbursing their receipts? The whole arrangement can be ripe for human error and fraud.

But with propane autogas, you can set up easy-to-use fuel storage and pumping equipment right at your parking facility or business. This on-site setup allows your drivers to conveniently refuel at the beginning and end of their shifts. It also ends the days of dealing with receipts from multiple gas vendors. With a trusted autogas provider like Koppy’s Propane, you’ll have one vendor to pay, and we’ll set up a recurring propane delivery based on your schedule!
