Perc Develops Fleet Calculator

The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) recently launched a new online Fleet Calculator to assist the industry in comparing the cost of propane-powered vehicles versus gasoline and diesel vehicles. The tool will help potential customers understand the financial benefits of switching to propane, especially with new propane products available or soon to be on the market (GM 8.1-L engine platform, Roush/F-150, Blue Bird school bus programs, and numerous aftermarket systems available) combined with the alternative fuel tax credits. The Fleet Calculator is an interactive tool that provides marketers and customers with hard numbers to demonstrate the savings realized by driving propane-powered vehicles. The worksheet results can be printed or emailed to the user
