Wisconsin workshop features propane autogas technology

Alliance AutoGas fueling partner Charter Fuels shared the benefits of clean, affordable propane autogas for fleets at a green vehicles workshop May 4 at the Milwaukee Area Technical College. The all-day event explored the latest trends in the alternative fuel industry and gave students and community members a chance to experience green vehicles firsthand.

The event featured alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles from Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Josh Budworth of Charter Fuels showcased a propane autogas-powered 2011 Ford F-150.

Charter Fuels recently helped the city of Marinette, Wis., convert a police cruiser to autogas. The city expects fuel cost savings of about $5,000 annually.
