Many automotive manufacturers (e.g. Ford, GM, DiamlerChrysler, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Vauxhall, Proton, Volvo, Renault, Peugeot, Opel, Fiat) have introduced LP Gas vehicles. Other vehicle manufacturers offer conversions at the time of sale.
Originally, specialist companies developed and marketed Autogas conversion kits for vehicles, however, as Autogas has become more popular and encouraged by more governments, major automotive manufacturers have become more involved in the actual development and marketing of Autogas systems in their vehicles.
Engines can be specifically engineered to run on Autogas, featuring the same driving performance and acceleration as with gasoline vehicles.
Fuel systems and electronic engine management systems have been fully adapted for Autogas. Some models also support dual fuel systems that allow the driver to effortlessly switch from Autogas to gasoline, thereby eliminating driving range concerns.
Safety valves in the tank activate automatically if leakage should occur in the fuel system, meaning that gas can no longer flow from the tank making Autogas vehicles as secure as any other vehicle.
Moreover, an Autogas car has a closed and environmentally-sound fuel system which prevents fuel spillage and evaporation. In terms of convenience placing them under the floor or luggage compartment to ensure that valuable passenger space is not compromised.
Autogas vehicles do not have increased insurance premiums vis-à-vis all other vehicle fuels
