Propane Autogas 2016 F-150 Shown at GFX

A 2016 Ford F-150 powered by propane autogas will be on display at the Government Fleet Expo & Conference in Denver this week, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) has announced.

The vehicle, which will be shown at the council's Booth 137, joins propane-powered Gravely and Exmark commercial mowers, as well as a refueling dispenser from Superior Energy Systems.

The conference also features a panel session ("Is Propane Right for Your Fleet?") that covers the use of the alternative fuel that runs from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. Three fleet managers will discuss how they integrated propane autogas vehicles into their fleets. The speakers include Dave Anderson, Adams 12 Five Star Schools director of transportation and fleet services; Dave Butters, Monroe County, New York, asset manager of physical services; and Terry Ruddick, Thompson School District transportation director.

The panel will be moderated by Brian Carney, group account director with ROUSH CleanTech.
