Lpg for Automotive

The storage of LPG in vehicles and the engine fuelling mechanism use simple systems, that have compatible weight and are easy to install, guaranteeing performance levels (power, speed and acceleration) that are equivalent to similar petrol-driven vehicles.

LPG now represents an economic option and state incentives for the purchase or conversion of vehicles already in circulation aim to reduce the initial cost of installation, which for most vehicles is in addition to the petrol driven system (bi-fuel). As well as being able to convert petrol-driven vehicles, it is now possible to buy LPG-driven cars - of bi-fuel vehicles - built and guaranteed directly by the manufacturers.

In terms of polluting emissions, especially for those of concern to our urban areas, LPG-driven vehicles offer substantial advantages compared with traditionally powered vehicles. Consequently, the majority of the initiatives taken by local authorities to reduce atmospheric pollution foresee the exception of LPG-driven vehicles – often even when not fitted with catalysers– from partial or total blocks in circulation in urban areas.

Moreover, LPG offers marked advantages in terms of the emission of greenhouse gases - mainly CO2 – compared with petrol (–10÷15%), advantages that are heightened across the entire life-cycle of the fuels, thanks to way in which the products are processed, resulting in a lower energy intensity.
