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.
