PERC to provide education on autogas at truck show

The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) will provide educational opportunities to learn about the benefits of propane autogas at the NTEA Work Truck Show from March 6-9 in Indianapolis.

According to PERC, fleet owners and managers will be able to learn how propane autogas reduces a fleet’s emissions profile and total cost of ownership.

“New emissions data is showing that propane autogas fleet vehicles are reducing greenhouse gas, NOx and SOx emissions compared to other fuels, and we have some fun things planned in our booth for attendees to highlight these impressive data points,” says Michael Taylor, director of autogas business development at PERC. “We invite show attendees to stop by the PERC booth, learn a little about propane autogas vehicles and have some fun in the process.”

Additionally, PERC will host an interactive activity with prize giveaways for attendees. PERC says the activity will help participants visualize the emissions reductions offered by propane autogas vehicles.

PERC will have propane autogas vehicles and equipment on display, including a Ford F-650 from Roush CleanTech; a Ford F-150 from Alliance Autogas; a GM Chassis from Power Solutions International; and an autogas dispenser from Superior Energy Systems.

Additional education opportunities from PERC include the Green Truck Summit.

Taylor will host an educational breakout session on March 7 titled “A Clean Fuel at the Best Overall Cost,” which will focus on propane autogas’ role in cost-effective emissions reductions for fleets of all sizes. PERC says fleet managers will be present to give the audience a first-hand account of their own experiences operating propane autogas vehicles.
