Proton Lpg Autogas Vehicles Eco-Logical Choice for Fleets

One of the UK’s leading providers of cosmetic surgery has replaced its fleet with Proton GEN-2 ecoLogic lpg autogas dual fuel vehicles, dramatically cutting the running costs of its fleet by tens of thousands of pounds a year.

Bromsgrove-based The Hospital Group offers its patients a door-to-door chauffeur service to help reduce the stress of surgery. With 15 clinics in the UK, each of the 12 vehicles in its fleet covers an average 100,000 miles per year. The new fleet of Proton GEN-2 ecoLogic vehicles, supplied by family run Proton dealership The Car Lot in Halesowen, could cut the company’s fuel costs by up to £65,000 per year.

The Hospital Group transport manager Sarb Sandu said: “This move to using the new Proton GEN-2 is a very positive one for The Hospital Group. We travel miles and miles each day, transporting our patients to and from our private hospital in the Midlands, Dolan Park. Now we can help our patients as well as helping the environment.”

Humberside Police has been running lpg autogas converted Proton vehicles for over 10 years and, with just over 300 on its current fleet, has saved over £300,000 on fuel costs per year.

Alan Hocking from Humberside Police said: "We began trialling lpg autogas vehicles in 1996 and we've never looked back. 70 per cent of our fleet that run on lpg autogas are Proton vehicles and we encourage our drivers to run on lpg autogas 90 per cent of the time if possible. For us, the Proton GEN-2 represents great value for money and helps us run a more economical and ecological fleet."

Simon Park, general manager sales and marketing for Proton Cars (UK) Ltd said: “For fleet managers clocking up this kind of mileage, the vast cost savings on fuel are a compelling reason for businesses to consider the Proton GEN-2 ecoLogic when purchasing fleet vehicles. Even the average UK driver doing 10,000 miles per year could save over £500 per year on their fuel costs simply by switching to lpg autogas.”

The Proton GEN-2 ecoLogic costs the same as its petrol equivalent. All Proton vehicles come with a three-year/60,000 mile warranty and three years’ free RAC cover, and are available with £2,000 off the list price under the Government’s scrappage scheme.
