EDMONDS, WA – The City of Edmonds, Wash., is in the process of converting 17 of its fleet vehicles to run on propane autogas, according to a release from Alliance Autogas. The City is converting 16 Crown Victoria police vehicles and a Public Works truck.
Once all 17 autogas vehicles are up and running, the City will save around $60,000 on fuel costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 40 tons annually, according to the release.
