With fewer emissions and lower fuel costs, propane is Canada’s fleet solution. From vans, pickup trucks and passenger cars to school buses and trucks, here’s why you should choose propane.
Fuelling with auto propane is as safe and simple as filling up with gasoline or diesel. And automotive propane tanks are 20x more puncture-resistant than gasoline tanks. In the event of an accident, auto propane tanks keep commuters safer with less risk of rupturing than gasoline tanks.
Finding a Superior Propane fueling station for your vehicle is convenient and straightforward. With a comprehensive network of stations across Canada, we offer easy access to propane for cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles. Our cardlock systems and retail propane dispensers, available at various locations, ensure refueling is as simple as it is with traditional fuels.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cost |
Propane costs up to 40% less than diesel and gasoline. |
Historically gasoline is 30-40% more expensive than propane. |
On average diesel is 40-50% more expensive than propane. |
CNG fuel cost is low but the savings are negated by the high cost of transportation and storage. |
||||
Emissions |
Propane reduces GHGs emissions and emits 98% less particulate matter than diesel. |
Gasoline emits 26% more GHG emissions than propane. |
Diesel vehicles emit 80% more smog-producing hydrocarbon emissions and are 50% noisier. Diesel emissions are toxic containing GHGs and particulate matter. |
Like auto propane, CNG vehicles reduce harmful emissions by more than 20% when compared to gasoline. |
||||
Safety |
Propane vaporizes when released to minimize environmental risk. Propane tanks are 20X more puncture resistant than gasoline tanks. |
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can ignite at temperatures as low as -40 degrees celsius and gasoline tanks are less puncture resistant than propane tanks. |
Diesel risks include environmentally damaging spills and fuel contamination from long-term storage. |
Should a CNG leak occur, the gas will disperse rapidly upwards into the atmosphere and dissipate. |
||||
Maintenance & Infrastructure Costs |
Propane burns cleaner, causing less wear and tear on equipment resulting in lower maintenance costs. |
Gasoline does not burn as cleanly as alternative fuels, this leads to an increase in maintenance costs, meaning a higher overall operating cost. |
Due to the higher costs of diesel fleet maintenance, propane offers lower overall costs. |
CNG requires substantial infrastructure to compress and cool fuels. Fueling stations may cost over 90% more than propane. |
Want to bring automotive propane to your fleet? Here’s how:
No matter the size of the vehicles in your fleet, propane helps your transportation fleet lower maintenance and fuel costs, while also reducing harmful emissions. Find out why propane has become the most widely used and accepted alternative to conventional petroleum-based transportation fuels.
If you’re looking for an aftermarket conversion in Canada, it must be conducted by a qualified professional. Under provincial regulations, service technicians and qualified system retrofitters (QSR) must carry an internal combustion alternative fuel certificate to be licensed to work on a propane vehicle.
We work with conversion manufacturers such as Prins, Landi Renzo, and Roush Performance, to provide you with a propane system that a QSR can install to economically and reliably convert your light- or medium-duty vehicles for propane operation.
