The vast majority of the 250 million passenger cars already on EU roads today run on petrol and diesel. According to ACEA statistics, 97% of new car sales in 2019 were vehicles with internal combustion engines, which will stay on the road for 11+ years. Rapid decarbonisation and air quality improvements require new and parallel measures be taken to enable the reduction of emissions from older vehicles, such as LPG retrofit programmes. During a time of economic recession where new car sales are forecasted to drop by 25% this year, measures other than new vehicle purchase programmes should be deployed to ensure a just social transition towards the overall goal of carbon neutrality and clean air.
250 Million #AutogasOpportunities - a retrofitting solution
Facts and figures
| Affordable | Cleaner |
| The retrofit cost is from 500-2K Euro, and quickly recouped by the driver through lower fuel costs. Consumers save on average 50% compared to conventional fuels, and at the same time reducing emissions. | Autogas produces much fewer polluting particles than conventional fuels - 98% less NOx than diesel and 90% less PM than petrol. It is a real solution to address air quality immediately. |

| Available now | Renewable |
| More than million cars run on Autogas on European roads. Autogas is the most used alternative fuels in the EU and a mature technology. | BioLPG is a drop-in ready substitute which doesn’t require new technologies or infrastructure development. BioLPG has the potential to meet 100% of European LPG demand by 2050. |

Vision for AutogasRoad transport is responsible for over 70% of all transport sector GHG emissions, and remains a critical challenge for the environment. Pollutant emissions are also a major health risk for EU citizens. Autogas can play a significant role in reducing both GHGs and pollutant emissions, today. |
