VIRGINIA
BEACH, Va. – October 31, 2011 – National clean fueling and conversion
network Alliance AutoGas continues expansion of the U.S. autogas market with
new certified conversion center Tidewater Import Car Service. Tidewater Import
will provide affordable, EPA-certified autogas vehicle conversions as
well as ongoing aftermarket service and support for Virginia fleets.
“As
part of the Alliance AutoGas complete program, we’re helping U.S. fleets shift
to a domestically produced, high-performance clean fuel in a way that’s simple and cost-effective,” says Rob Torrisi,
president of Tidewater Import Car Service. “One of the many benefits of propane
autogas is that it has such a widespread network of conversion centers and
fueling providers already in place, making it a more viable alternative fuel
than many other options on the market today.”
Tidewater
Import will service a variety of fleet vehicles as a certified autogas
conversion center, utilizing the bi-fuel Prins
VSI
system from co-founding Alliance AutoGas partner American
Alternative Fuel.
“The
addition of new Alliance AutoGas conversion centers like Tidewater Import
illustrates the growing adoption of propane autogas in the transportation
industry,” says Stuart Weidie, president of Alliance AutoGas and
founder of industry coalition, Autogas for America. “For convenience, power and
affordability, autogas is simply the best clean fuel solution for American
fleets.”
Autogas
helps fleets save money on several fronts. Not only is autogas around $1 per
gallon cheaper than gasoline, it burns cleaner, so fleets also save on reduced
maintenance costs. Alliance AutoGas installs on-site fueling stations at no
up-front cost, and many Alliance fleets have seen a return on their investment
within a year of running on autogas.
Powering
fleets on autogas significantly reduces emissions without sacrificing vehicle
performance. Vehicles running on autogas refuel as quickly as gasoline
vehicles, compared to an alternative fuel like compressed natural gas, which
can take hours to refuel.
