  • Costs less than its diesel or dedicated propane counterparts.

  • Reduces fleet operating costs by as much as 30%. 

  • The new Bobtail conversion comes in at a lower cost than its diesel counterpart.

  • Offers increased range while reducing fuel costs.

  • “Best in Class” warranty of five years or 100,000 miles.

  • The plug and play conversion greatly improves efficiency reducing the propane system’s installation time by half—about six hours—compared to a typical 12 to 14-hour installation time for any predecessor.​

Alliance AutoGas is also developing a Ford Explorer police vehicle, a Ford Transit (close to EPA certification) and an Isuzu NPR with the same Bi-Fuel Autogas System warranty and plug and play system installation.
