Alliance AutoGas Announces New EPA Certifications for Propane Vehicle Conversions

Asheville, NC, October 25, 2013 – National clean vehicle and fuel provider Alliance AutoGas announces that it has recently received new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certifications for propane covering over 50 vehicle platforms.

Alliance AutoGas, the U.S. authorized distributor for PRINS autogas technologies, converts conventional gasoline vehicles to run on clean propane autogas and installs on-site and public fueling stations. This year, make and model families for which Alliance AutoGas has received EPA certification of the Prins VSI System are: 2012 & 3013 GM 4.8L & 6.0L which includes vehicles such as the Silverado and Express.

“Four additional certifications are completed and awaiting final EPA authorization, five more are in process and will be completed by 4th quarter 2013,” notes Stuart Weidie, President of Alliance AutoGas.  “We are hastening the pace of the certifications while continuing to build our support and training network on a daily basis.”

Stuart Weidie calls these newly announced certifications a “critical step in expanding our portfolio to meet the increasing high market demand.”

Public and private fleets that work with Alliance AutoGas to convert these vehicle models will reduce emissions and fuel costs simultaneously – all while using a domestic made fuel.

The EPA certifications, provided by Blossman Services, Inc., equipment technology provider of Alliance AutoGas, allow the Alliance to serve more fleets across the country – particularly government and commercial fleets that rely heavily upon light and medium vehicles like vans and trucks.  Current Alliance Autogas customers, which range from national transportation companies, taxi & shuttle fleets, law enforcement and private fleets in 41 states, are experiencing significant fuel cost savings and reduced maintenance when compared to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles.

Alliance AutoGas is America’s only complete program to transition fleets to clean burning propane autogas. The Alliance AutoGas program includes vehicle technology, EPA-certified conversions, refueling infrastructure, data integration, fuel supply, and all the training you need to keep your fleet up and running on autogas.  Originally founded by Blossman Gas ,the nation’s largest independent propane company, Alliance AutoGas is comprised of more than 90 companies nationwide.   Visit www.allianceautogas.com.Contact: David Finder, National Energy Programs Manager for Blossman Gas at 828.251.0027 or dmfinder@blossmangas.com
