LPG for vehicles

Cleaner and more economical than petrol and diesel, LPG outperforms vehicles running on so-called 'traditional' fuels on many financial and environmental levels. A simple and quick conversion process also means your business vehicles could be running on Autogas or BP Economix™ almost immediately.

LPG for cars
Autogas vehicles operate on a dual-fuel system, with an LPG tank installed alongside a petrol tank. Being fitted with both tanks means vehicles can alternate between the two fuels. Available at more than 250 outlets across the UK, Autogas enables vehicles and machinery to perform on a par with those powered by petrol or diesel.

LPG for haulage
BP Economix™ safely combines LPG with diesel to create a cleaner, more cost-effective fuel. Clean burning with strong green credentials, BP Economix™ gives businesses running diesel-only haulage vehicles a 10% fuel cost saving. It also allows businesses to be more competitive with their customer tenders and quotes.

Here's how this highly effective, proven and safe technology works:

• LPG is used as a partial substitution for diesel fuel
• Robust and tested LPG injection
• System professionally installed on the vehicle and an LPG fuel tank mounted on the chassis
• The system is mapped closely to the diesel power curve of the vehicle
• Engine and drive train work within normal parameters
• Engine will operate as normal on diesel alone if the LPG runs out, or in the unlikely event of the gas system reporting a fault
