Success Stories
38
Fleets Using Autogas
39
Muscogee County, GA Alternative fuels are an undeniable part of the nation’s future, and at Muscogee County we are excited to be a part of that evolution now. Sheriff John Darr, Muscogee County
40
Airport Shuttle, New Orleans, LA The price differential makes autogas a very attractive alternative fuel. When we looked at how quickly we would reach a return on investment, it was a no-brainer. All our vehicles will eventually run on autogas. Don Duverney, Airport Shuttle General Manager
41
Haywood Public Transit The convenience of on- site fueling is a major plus for our operators. There is no excuse not to use these propane vehicles. They are the primary vehicles assigned to regular routes, therefore saving more money. The loss of the fuel tax credit is concerning as our savings will not be as great. We have hopes that the bill will be passed once again and retro-active as of January 1st. Susan Anderson, Transit Director Clyde, NC
42
Sheriff’s Office, Raleigh, NC T Todd Jordan Police Lieutenant Raleigh, NC
43
Greenville County Sheriff, SC We’re pleased to be converting 126 of our county’s vehicles to propane autogas with the program, and we’re also excited to be a certified conversion center and help deploy this project – and continue alternative fuel conversions for the county after the project concludes. Alan Fairfield, County Fleet Director
44
Jackson County, GA Since we’ve teamed up with [Alliance AutoGas], they’ve been with us every step of the way, offering their expertise and advice – and working to make the program a successful endeavor for everyone involved. Their assistance has been exceptional and we’ve really enjoyed working with them. Stan Evans, Jackson County Sheriff
45
Mountain Mobility Asheville, NC Making the switch to a propane autogas system was an easy decision for the Buncombe County Commissioners to make, after learning about the environmental benefits, fuel savings and lower-maintenance advantages of propane autogas. Lori Hembree, Director of Mountain Mobility
46
Polk County, Oregon Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Mark Garton Polk County Oregon Polk County worked with an Alliance AutoGas conversion partner to convert all 10 vehicles to run on propane autogas, using the Prins VSI system. The Sheriff’s office has saved over $32,000 in its first year of conversion. The bi-fuel component of the Prins system was critical to the department’s ability to operate alternative fuel vehicles
