Automotive Applications
Autogas is the name given to the Liquefied Petroleum Gas when it is used as an automotive fuel. LPG can be used to power commercial fleets, forklift trucks, motor mowers, buses and power boats.
LPG as a forklift truck fuel is increasing popular not only because of its economy and secure supply but also because of its clean burning properties - LPG is both lead and sulphur free. Such qualities mean that LPG can not only fuel outdoor forklift trucks but indoor ones as well (e.g. warehouses). This provides the ideal solution in the food, fresh fruit and vegetable sectors where a pollution free environment is critical.
LPG powered forklift trucks also provide consistent performance, whatever the terrain. With no need to recharge and the reduced need for maintenance (as LPG is clean burning) , there will be significantly less downtime for your organisation allowing for increased productivity. When LPG runs low, it is a simple matter of changing a cylinder or refuelling from a designated Flogas bulk tank.
Autogas can provide clear, tangible costs savings by offering fuel bill reductions of approximately 50%. This is primarily due to the low fuel duty placed on autogas given that it is an environmentally friendly alternative to petrol/diesel fuel. For organisations with commercial fleets, the cost savings can be substantial.
While there are over 1100 autogas refuelling stations throughout the UK, larger customers can avail of a fleet bunkering site from which to refuel their fleet. By installing a bulk tank and dispenser, your business could benefit from further cost savings on the retail cost. Furthermore, the modular bunkering unit can be added to as your fleet grows, while being portable should the need arise. If required, the unit can be designed to accommodate fuel card readers.
