If you drive an LPG Autogas
vehicle it’s good to know that, in addition to
saving large amounts of money, you can also
contribute to saving the environment.
-
LPG Autogas powered vehicles
emit significantly fewer greenhouse gases and
other pollutants than petrol-powered equivalents.
-
LPG typically has around 20
per cent less ozone forming potential (a measure
of the tendency to generate photochemical smog),
between 10 and 15 per cent lower greenhouse gas
emissions and only one fifth air toxics
emissions.
-
LPG Autogas vehicles operate
even more relatively cleanly when the engine is
cold. Given that most urban-use vehicles are
often used for very short journeys this means a
significant reduction in “real world” emissions.
-
LPG Autogas is also much
cleaner than diesel. The dirty black smoke that
we see coming from diesel vehicles is
particulates – a known cause of sickness and
deaths. By replacing a diesel engine with an LPG
Autogas-powered equivalent, over 90 percent of
this particulate matter would be eliminated.
-
LPG Autogas is also much
cleaner during the refuelling process. When
refuelling with petrol or diesel, chemical
vapours escape into the atmosphere and can also
be breathed in during the entire refuelling
process. Autogas refuelling is a fully sealed
process.
