Palmetto Propane Joins Alliance AutoGas: Bringing South Carolina a Clean Fleet Solution with Propane Vehicles
Batesburg-Leesville, SC, October 15, 2009 -- Regional propane retailer Palmetto Propane has joined national alternative fuel vehicle conversion and fueling network Alliance AutoGas. As an Alliance AutoGas partner, Palmetto Propane will work with South Carolina’s public and private vehicle fleets to convert from conventional gasoline to propane AutoGas – a cleaner, less expensive and almost entirely domestic alternative vehicle fuel. Propane AutoGas is the most widely used alternative vehicle fuel in the world.
“We joined Alliance AutoGas because we see firsthand the need for this comprehensive clean vehicle conversion and fueling solution,” says Eddie Havird, president of Palmetto Propane. “We know that the vehicle fleets of South Carolina will appreciate the clear benefits of converting their fleets to propane with Alliance Autogas.”
Alliance AutoGas provides America’s fleets with a truly turn-key alternative fuel solution that includes:
• Vehicle conversion equipment and labor
• Fueling station on-site at fleet base
• Safety and operational training for fleet personnel
• Year-round fuel provision
• Ongoing technical support
Palmetto Propane was established in 1964 to provide comprehensive fueling services to the Midlands of South Carolina while maintaining the highest industry standards in personalized customer service.
Palmetto Propane will strengthen Alliance AutoGas’ national footprint by communicating the many benefits of propane fleet vehicle conversions throughout South Carolina.
Ideal candidates for propane conversion include taxis, law enforcement and municipal vehicles, limousines, utility company vehicles and many others.
Fleets that convert to propane AutoGas can expect:
• Lower fuel costs
• Significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions
• Less dependence on foreign oil (90% of propane is produced in the U.S.)
• Ability to integrate positive green messaging into their communications
Palmetto Propane and Alliance AutoGas will immediately begin discussions with South Carolina fleets interested in converting vehicles to propane AutoGas.
