Considering a fleet upgrade?
Switching from diesel to propane not only benefits the environment; it may also improve your bottom line. Delta Liquid Energy wants to save you money when upgrading your fleet; click here to visit our Savings page. For more information about government incentives, call Ted Olsen at 805-239-0616.
Delta Liquid Energy knows that when it comes to fuel, propane is a frontrunner in saving the planet. Approved by the Environmental Protection Agency as a clean, low-carbon alternative fuel, propane leads all transportation fuels in producing the lowest greenhouse gas emissions (U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center).
President Obama’s new stimulus package, which encourages municipalities to use alternatively fueled vehicles, offers government grants to cover a portion of the cost of establishing propane refueling infrastructures. Propane vehicle specialist Ted Olsen is highly knowledgeable about the new package and can answer your questions. Please call 805-239-0616.
The government encourages the use of cleaner-burning propane for fueling motor vehicles.
Since 2006, numerous Propane Motor Fuel Tax Credits and Incentives have been offered by the IRS. As of 2008, these credits can be claimed in periods of up to weekly, making the switch to propane a very convenient decision.
Fueled by this compelling information, the DLE team is leading a campaign to support the use of propane-powered vehicles by commercial and municipal fleets. Read below for some of our endeavors into the propane motor fuel market, and to learn how you can become a user of cleaner-burning fuel.
Let Delta Liquid Energy conserve your finances and the environment. Call Ted Olsen at Delta Liquid Energy to learn more today: 805-239-0616.
Blue Bird Propane Powered School Bus
The Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision® school bus is a conventional Type C school bus which runs on propane instead of diesel fuel. Unlike “retrofit” alternative fuel systems of the past, the Propane-Powered Vision is a fully integrated and purposely built Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) bus, engineered to the same exacting standards as other Blue Bird buses. Designed and built for maximum quality and reliability, the Propane-Powered Vision® meets all applicable School Bus Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) while offering several distinct advantages, including:
- Meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification requirements for the 2010 production year
- Provides a safe, attractive and viable alternative fuel choice amidst rising diesel fuel prices
- Allows for operators to receive tax incentives for purchasing both propane-powered school buses and propane fuel, including a 50-cent rebate on every gallon of propane purchased
- Lowers operating and maintenance costs
Learn more about both the features that make the Blue Bird Vision School Bus model unique (link to Vision overview) as well as the advantages offered by its propane platform here.
Liquid Propane Injection (LPi)
Fleets operating on alternative fuels such as propane can now take advantage of income tax credits of up to 50 cents per gallon. The LPI System...
- is a fully integrated, dedicated engine system designed in complete harmony with the gasoline engine.
- utilizes fuel that is 90% domestically produced, reducing our dependence on imports.
- provides the best balance of fuel economy, performance and emissions.
Roush Ford F-250 and F-350's
ROUSH Performance is pleased to announce the availability of the ROUSH Ford F-250s and F-350s equipped with the 5.4L V8 engine.
Driving an F-250 or F-350 equipped with the ROUSH LPI technology, you will immediately notice there is no loss in horsepower, torque, or towing capacity, as was the case with many propane conversions of the past. Older kits used to rely on vapor injection, but because the ROUSH technology leaves propane in the liquid state until injection, it's 30% more powerful than the older technology. For more information, visit the Roush website here or contact Ted Olsen at (805) 239-0616.
