Alliance Autogas

Are electric vehicles (EVs) the only solution for reducing transportation emissions? As the conversation around sustainable transportation grows, EVs often are the first to come to mind. Yet, their momentum has recently slowed due to challenges like limited charging infrastructure, battery supply concerns, and high costs. These challenges are prompting fleets to explore other cleaner fuel alternatives, and one promising solution is propane autogas, a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly option offered by Alliance AutoGas.

DART Bus Fueling With Autogas

Transitioning to autogas doesn’t mean investing in a new fleet. Through a bi-fuel conversion system, Alliance AutoGas enables your existing gasoline vehicles to operate on both gasoline and propane. If autogas is not available during a trip, the vehicle can switch to gasoline, providing consistent performance without interruption. To ensure a safe and effective transition to autogas, proper installation is essential. Alliance provides an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-certified system to convert your vehicle to run on autogas. Additionally, a nationwide network of certified installation and service centers guarantee expert support every step of the way.

Autogas offers a practical alternative in today’s evolving energy landscape. Approximately 99% of the nation’s autogas is produced in North America, enhancing energy security by lowering reliance on foreign oil and boosting the U.S. economy. Unlike EVs, which are dependent on the electrical grid for charging, autogas provides a reliable and domestically sourced fueling option. Additionally, federal EV incentives have been rolled back in 2025, with funding cuts and the end of key tax credits, further highlighting the need for practical alternatives like autogas.

It’s important to consider total emissions, not just tailpipe emissions, when evaluating fuel options. Total emissions include the energy and resources used to produce energy, which often still rely on fossil fuels. Autogas separates itself by delivering real-world emissions reductions today and substantially lowering harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. It also brings several safety and environmental benefits: it’s non-toxic, doesn’t pollute groundwater, and has a lower flammability range than conventional gasoline, making it one of the safest alternative fuels available. Additionally, vehicles running on autogas use fuel tanks made of durable high-strength steel that are 20 times more puncture-resistant compared to gasoline tanks.

Fuel pricing remains a top priority for fleet managers. Propane autogas on average is often priced around 30% below gasoline, offering consistent savings over time. Unlike gasoline and diesel, which are subject to global oil market spikes, autogas prices tend to be steadier, which is largely due to U.S. domestic production. This price stability helps fleets better forecast fuel expenses and maintain stable budget control.

As the push for cleaner transportation continues, fleets need solutions that are both functional and affordable. Propane autogas is a clean, reliable, and cost-effective solution. With lower emissions, steady pricing, and the ability to use existing vehicles, autogas makes it easier for fleets to make a positive change without big disruptions. Alliance AutoGas is here to help you make the switch and start moving toward a cleaner, more efficient future.

As the transportation industry accelerates toward cleaner, more sustainable solutions, Alliance AutoGas (AAG) is proud to announce a major milestone: over 2,000 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-certified vehicle platforms are now approved to operate on autogas.

This milestone, reached at the close of 2024, highlights AAG’s continued commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility. New certifications include the 2024 3.0-liter EcoBoost, 2024 3.5-liter EcoBoost, and the 2024 6.6-liter L8T, covering an impressive array of popular models like the Ford Explorer, Transit, Lincoln Aviator, Silverado, Sierra, Express, and Savanna.

“It’s exciting to have such a large number and wide variety of engine and vehicle platforms to operate on autogas,” said Stephen Holland, AAG’s Vice President of Engineering. “AAG has the largest library of EPA approvals, and we are proud to contribute to the shifting landscape of the automotive industry.”

Certified for Performance and Compliance

Earning EPA certification is no small feat. Every AAG system undergoes rigorous testing, including rolling road dynamometer emissions tests and engine dynamometer evaluations, all designed to meet stringent EPA standards for environmental and operational integrity. These certifications are a direct reflection of AAG’s engineering precision and quality.

Expanding the Engineered System Portfolio

The addition of the EcoBoost engine platforms significantly broadens AAG’s Engineered System offerings—giving fleets across North America more flexible, cleaner options that don’t compromise performance. And performance is on full display with AAG’s Ford Explorer ST 3.0L V6 EcoBoost, showcased at the NPGA Southeastern & International Propane Expo. This bi-fuel powerhouse delivers 400 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 415 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm—all while running on a cleaner-burning fuel.

With bold enhancements like Rotiform RSE wheels, Toyo Open Country A/T tires, Thule wingbars, and a Racktec Tanto basket, this showcase vehicle exemplifies the possibilities of modern autogas technology.

Looking Ahead: Hybrids and More

AAG isn’t stopping here. Holland shared that the company will increasingly focus on autogas and electric vehicle hybridization, further expanding sustainable fleet options for transportation providers across the country.

“Each year, our dedicated team of engineers works tirelessly to develop and test bi-fuel systems tailored to new vehicle platforms,” said Holland. “With each new certification, we aim to provide efficient, reliable and sustainable options that support the future of fleet management and contribute to a cleaner environment.”

Powered by a National Network

As a division of Blossman Gas, Alliance AutoGas is supported by a powerful network of more than 120 independent propane marketers and authorized conversion centers across North America. This vast infrastructure allows AAG to provide end-to-end autogas solutions to light-, medium-, and heavy-duty fleets—making it easier than ever for organizations to switch to a cleaner, cost-effective alternative.
