Benefits of Propane-Powered School Buses
Propane is a Proven Alternative
While people often see propane fuel systems in school buses as emerging or unproven technology, that simply is not the case. Propane has actually been powering school buses since the 1970s.
Propane has been a long-accepted fuel solution for school buses across the state of Texas. Texas districts were some of the earliest adopters, including Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, and Alvin Independent School District, which started using propane in the early 1980s.
Propane-Powered School Buses Offer Minimum Total Price of Ownership
School buses powered by propane tender the lowest total ownership price in comparison to other fuels.
Some school districts receive their first investment back in their buses in as early as one-and-half to two years. This is primarily due to the face that there is a reduction in maintenance expenses as well as fuel prices.
The Refueling Infrastructure of Propane Can Accommodate Any Size Fleet
There are many refueling options available to schools for their school bus fleet, operating with propane. Therefore, it is easy to customize a refueling plan for individual requirements of each fleet.
Additionally, those with sufficient space at their facilities often use on-site refilling infrastructures. A central location offers ease and less downtime for school bus drivers, and the fuel station can have upgrades to meet the fleet needs of the school as it grows.
These are just a few of the many benefits of propane-powered school buses. For more information on propane, don’t hesitate to contact us here at Texas Propane with the link below!
