Propane Council Boosts Business Fleet Incentives

The Propane Council of Texas (ProCOT), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the use of cleaner burning, domestically produced propane, is offering incentives to Texas businesses that upgrade their fleet vehicles to autogas. ProCOT now offers up to a $7500 incentive per new propane vehicle purchased or converted by a private fleet. The program cap is $15,000 per private fleet. In return for the incentives, recipients will be required to provide data on their business fleet.

“The program provides seed money for Texas businesses that are introducing propane autogas into their fleets for the first time,” said Jackie Mason, education and marketing director for ProCOT. “The council believes businesses that demo the vehicle in their fleet will clearly see the advantages and continue to adopt propane into their fleets without any further incentives.”

Many private fleets across Texas are already fueling with autogas, including delivery and service companies, shuttle services, taxis, telecommunications companies, and landscapers. Since 2010, ProCOT has provided incentives to business fleets that have powered their vehicles with propane. Some past incentive recipients include ARS, Admiral Linen & Uniform, Primetime Gutters, and ThyssenKrupp.
