Autogas Pavilion Advances Awareness of Propane For Vehicle Use

The United Propane AutoGas Solutions (UPAS Group), was 2018 sponsor of the Autogas Pavilion at the NPGA Southeastern Convention and strives to unite interested propane autogas beneficiaries to promote the advancement of propane use in vehicles and equipment as a viable, safe, clean, affordable, and recognized alternative fuel for the future, while utilizing one of America’s own natural resources.

Its mission is to create a group of “hands-on” technical members that are dedicated to working together to promote autogas and continue building the propane industry. Its goals are to have everyone involved from propane vehicle systems manufacturers, system installers and service points, manufacturers and installers of fueling infrastructure, propane fuel suppliers, propane fuel retailers, and fleet administrators, to be able to provide education and solutions to users of autogas.
