Propane Decision Matrix

Is Propane Autogas Right for You?


The decision to switch to any alternative fuel  like propane autogas for your fleet vehicles and equipment depends on several factors and are completely unique to your situation.

Here are a few qualifying questions to consider before taking the next steps:

Perfecting propane technology for over 20 years.

  • Reliable Technology- Blue Bird’s commitment to alternative fuel safety and innovation has been steadfast since the introduction of the first generation of propane-powered buses in 1993. Now on it’s fourth generation, Georgia-based Blue Bird continues to improve and introduce innovations.
  • Commitment to Safety- Propane is a very safe alternative fuel – it is non-poisonous, and poses no harm to groundwater, surface water or soil. It does not spill, pool or leave any residue when released but dissipates into the air. Blue Bird buese are just as safe as the fuel itself, with built-in features that ensure the safety of the passengers, including tanks that are 20 times more puncture resistant than a typical fuel tank and are positioned between robust frame rails. The fuel system is fitted with safety devices and shut-off valves that function automatically.
  • The Total Cost of Ownership Solution- When configuring a bus, one should consider the total cost it will take to maintain and fuel the vehicle throughout its lifetime. That’s why Blue Bird has developed a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculator. This calculator helps you determine which fuel type will be less expensive to maintain over the course of its running lifetime. Most often, propane is the clear winner for providing the lowest total cost of ownership of any fuel type. TCO for propane buses is generally much less expensive, because the fuel is produced domestically- bringing it to a lower cost than typical oil-based fuels. There are also fewer parts to maintain which lowers the overall cost of maintenance.
