» Fleet LPG conversions
With its low CO2 emissions and the benefit that Ultra Clean LPG vehicles currently receive a 100% discount from the London congestion charge, there has never been a better time to convert your fleet of vehicles to run on LPG.
Perhaps the most compelling reason for converting your fleet to run on LPG, is the cost savingsthat can be made, with LPG costing approximately half the price of petrol or diesel(1). With a bulk storage installation, the costs can be further reduced.
As the UK's leading supplier of LPG, Calor can offer unrivalled technical expertise in the siting and installation of bulk tanks, supported by a nationwide computerised delivery service to regularly refill bulk storage tanks.
The advantages of LPG don't stop with the cost savings - the vehicles emit a lot less of the harmful environmental emissions associated with traditional road fuels.

There’s no question that Autogas is one of the most inexpensive fuels available, in fact the most compelling argument for switching to Autogas could well be the economic one.
Autogas retails at around half the price of petrol and diesel - and, if your company operates a fleet of LPG vehicles, bulk tank prices are even lower.
After converting your vehicle or vehicles to LPG, it usually takes around two years to recoup your investment in fuel savings. What's more, because the engine tends to run more smoothly on LPG, it reduces engine wear - and, as such, may well increase the life of your engine and other key components.
