Propane Powered Vehicles

With the US reaching out to find alternative fuels for motor vehicles, many people are turning to propane.. One taxi company in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Transportation Group, has converted 50 cabs to be powered with propane.

Propane powered vehicles burn cleanly, which is the reason why many primarily indoor vehicles, such as forklifts, use it. Also, propane often sells for far less then diesel and gasoline, resulting in huge savings for customers. The down sides are that propane in most vehicles get about 10% less mileage, and many are concerned that in cold weather vehicles will have a difficult time starting up. This is why many vehicles are both powered with gasoline and propane. The gasoline will get the engine started, before switching over to propane once the engines running.

As the times change, Holden's is dedicated to the North Shore's energy needs. At the present time Holden's offers both gasoline and diesel at our filling station, along with propane tank refills for grill tanks, forklift tanks, and campers, and off-road diesel. If you are interested in Holden's offering propane for vehicles, contact us. It is an avenue we at Holden's are open to considering if we find their would be some interest from our customers.
