The switch to a more eco-friendly fuel is part of ThyssenKrupp Elevator's commitment to the environment. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint. One of our targets is a 20-percent improvement in fuel efficiency, so we are exploring alternative fuels like LPG autogas.

This is just part of our larger LPG autogas fleet rollout and we look forward to rolling out more across the country. DISH is proud to begin deploying a LPG autogas vehicle fleet in the L.A. area that emits fewer greenhouse gases and uses a domestically sourced fuel.

 We’re almost halfway to our company-wide goal of deploying 15,000 alternative-fuel vehicles by the end of year 2018. Vehicles such as LPG F-350s from Ford have helped us avoid purchasing 7.7 million gallons of petrol. 

Making the switch to autogas was a smart decision for our fleet. It will ultimately save the company thousands of dollars on reduced fuel and maintenance costs.
