Auto/Bus Powered

Did you know that Parco Propane provides propane for automobiles and schools buses? There are over 21,000 propane school buses on American roads transporting over 1.3 million kids to school each day in almost 1,000 school districts. With a range of up to 400 miles on a single fueling, propane buses provide the distance that school districts need to get through daily routes and after-school events. Plus, a propane bus costs three to four times less than an electric or diesel bus, meaning for the same cost, districts can transport up to four times more students in cleaner buses. With propane buses, school districts get all the cost- and emission-reducing benefits for less money.

When it comes to the fuel you use to run your fleet, the bottom line is that your vehicles need to perform well. Propane-powered vehicles perform comparably to those powered by gasoline and diesel, but with a higher octane rating, propane can be used with higher engine compression ratios which creates higher engine efficiency.

Since propane has a lower carbon content than gasoline and diesel, it burns cleaner and puts less stress on vehicles' engines. As a result, propane-powered vehicles require less maintenance and typically see a longer engine lifetime, which means less downtime and more time on the road.
