Australia Increasing Lpg Autogas Grants

The Australian lpg autogas industry has welcomed a decision by its federal government to provide a larger grant to private buyers of new factory fitted lpg autogas passenger vehicles. The doubling of the grant to $2,000 is part of the New Car Plan for a Greener Future initiative announced by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in Melbourne.

“The doubling of the grant recognises the potential for lpg autogas fuel systems to play a more important role in the greener future of Australian made cars,” said Phil Westlake, industry development manager at LPG Australia, the trade association for the Australian lpg industry. “Increasing the grant provides larger incentive to our three car makers to encourage further development of new lpg autogas fuel injection technologies that lower running costs and cut carbon dioxide emissions. Wider adoption of lpg autogas will allow Australians to further reduce their vehicle transport emissions.”
