• Converting more than 1,200 public and private fleet vehicles from gasoline to propane autogas
• Implementing more than 30 propane autogas refueling stations throughout the southeast U.S.
• Displacing an estimated 15.7 million gallons of gasoline
• Eliminating an estimated 16,000 tons or more of airborne pollutants
