Additionally, we take the extra mile by delivering autogas directly to our customers’ sites, providing unmatched convenience and flexibility.
At Gaztron, we’re not just transforming vehicles; we’re transforming the way you think about fuel – making sustainability, efficiency, and accessibility our top priorities. Join us on the road to a cleaner and more sustainable future with autogas.
WHY GAS VEHICLES?
First and foremost, autogas significantly reduces harmful emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment. The cost-effectiveness of autogas is another compelling advantage, as it comes at a lower price than traditional fuels, and businesses can claim VAT on autogas leading to substantial savings.
Autogas conversions enhance engine performance and longevity while providing a seamless transition for various vehicle types. With an established infrastructure for refilling stations and the option for direct delivery to customer sites, autogas ensures convenient access to fuel. Moreover, by decreasing dependence on conventional fuels, autogas plays a pivotal role in promoting energy diversification and sustainability, making it a smart choice for a greener and more efficient future.
While electric vehicles (EVs) have gained traction globally as a sustainable alternative to traditional combustion engine vehicles, their feasibility for South African fleet owners faces several challenges. The country’s vast and diverse geography, coupled with unevenly distributed charging infrastructure, poses a significant hurdle. The limited range of many current EV models becomes a concern, especially for fleet vehicles covering extensive distances. Additionally, South Africa’s electricity grid reliability issues and occasional power outages can impact the consistent availability of charging stations. The initial high costs of acquiring EVs and the limited options for affordable models further deter fleet owners, especially in an economic context where upfront investments require careful consideration. Current infrastructure and economic factors make electric vehicles impractical for widespread adoption among South African fleet owners.
Lithium-ion mining is far from a green process and the manufacturing of EVs is not nearly as green as traditional Internal Combustion Engines. The emissions problem we face is not due to ICEs but rather due to traditional fuels. When biogas is e.g. purified into Bio-Methane, consuming this fuel is a carbon-negative process.
Autogas, renowned for its safety, is stored in sealed, non-flammable systems with a narrow flammability range, minimizing accidental combustion risk. Equipped with safety features like pressure relief valves, it ensures controlled gas release in case of tank punctures, avoiding explosions. Higher ignition temperature makes autogas resistant to accidental ignition, while odorization aids leak detection. Rigorous crash safety tests reinforce system integrity, and strict adherence to safety standards assures secure storage, transport, and use, establishing Autogas as a trusted alternative fuel.
