Alliance AutoGas Introduces Ram ProMaster® Van Conversion System

Swannanoa, NC (June 24, 2016) The Alliance AutoGas engineered single-plug connector, no cut or drill fuel system, installed on a RAM ProMaster® was recently displayed at the Government Fleet Expo in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Ram ProMaster® is in great demand in the government and service sectors, and also the second most popular European-style van on the market. The Ram ProMaster® features a 16-gallon underbody autogas tank with the conversion system. This adds to the Ram ProMaster’s front-wheel-drive system, and a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine.

Alliance’s EPA and NFPA 58 compliant conversion system featured on the RAM ProMaster® can be installed on new or in-service vehicles in half the time of other products. These systems do not require any permanent vehicle modifications.

Ed Hoffman, President of Blossman Services, Inc., the equipment distributor for Alliance AutoGas adds, “By far, we offer our customers the widest assortment of choices of vehicles and options for their fleets. They can experience a positive ROI with a partial asset life when reduced conversion costs are coupled with low, stable fuel prices. A large benefit of this system is that the product is supported with a 5-year, 100,000 mile warranty. We feel that strongly about its success for all fleet vehicles and we are extremely proud to unveil the propane autogas version of the RAM ProMaster®. This popular vehicle further confirms our dominance in the alternative fuel work truck market.”

As a one-stop shop in the on-road autogas market, Alliance AutoGas has installed over 800 refueling facilities in the US and Canada. In addition, Alliance has converted or participated in supplying autogas to more than 10,000 propane autogas vehicles and buses in North America, helping them run on clean-burning propane with units’ sales increasing monthly. In the past year, Alliance members collectively displaced 45 million gallons of gasoline and produced $70 million in fuel cost savings for the 550 fleets they service.

Key innovations in the marketplace developed by Alliance AutoGas are their engineered systems that can be installed in only a few hours.

Just completed last month, Alliance embarked on a 5700+ mile, 12-city, cross country road trip – the Alliance AutoGas Coast-to-Coast Clean Air Ride – with its record-setting propane autogas converted F-150 and using the “plug and play” system and safe connect nozzle. 468 gallons of propane autogas were used, reducing CO₂ emissions by 25% compared to a gasoline vehicle.

“The cross country trip was a great opportunity to demonstrate why propane autogas is the world’s #1 alternative fuel. We educated citizens and fleet managers across the country on the extended range of autogas vehicles, as well as the benefits of real costs savings and emissions reductions,” says Stuart Weidie, President and CEO of Blossman Gas and President of Alliance AutoGas.
