"The new certifications are yet another great example of Alliance's dedication to stay on the cutting edge of the propane AutoGas motor fuel market," says Alliance AutoGas President Stuart Weidie. "Alliance's ongoing effort to expand our range of EPA certifications reflects our determination to meet this country's vital need for cleaner air and reduced dependence on foreign oil."

The new EPA certifications allow AutoGas to serve more fleets across the country - particularly government and commercial fleets that rely heavily upon larger vehicles like vans and trucks.  Shuttle services, passenger vans, commercial pickup truck fleets, and utility and service companies, now have access to clean vehicle conversions powered by AutoGas.

AutoGas fleets - including taxi, law enforcement and municipal fleets - can expect lower fuel costs, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and green branding opportunities, all while using a fuel that is 90 percent domestically produced.
