GUEST COMMENTARY: Drive Wisconsin forward with sustainable transportation technologies
There’s a saying in business that if you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind. That is certainly the case when it comes to technology, which plays a critical role in every aspect of our lives. Advancements in technology are moving forward more rapidly than ever, so much so that the pace with which technology advances is seen as an indicator of success. It helps define our role in the global economy, the value of businesses and industries and the products they produce. The same holds true for vehicles and pieces of equipment, which are following the pace of technological advancements, particularly when it comes to low- or zero-emission vehicles. As more and more companies and municipalities develop their decarbonization plans and pledge to reduce their impacts on climate change, the demand for low- or zero-emission vehicles, equipment, fuels and technologies is increasing as well.

Featured Fuel: Propane
Propane, also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or LP-gas) or autogas, has been used worldwide as a vehicle fuel for decades. Stored under pressure inside a tank, propane turns into a colorless, odorless liquid. As pressure is released, the liquid propane vaporizes and turns into gas that is used for combustion. An odorant, ethyl mercaptan, is added for leak detection.Propane has a high octane rating and excellent properties for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. Propane is produced as a by-product of natural gas processing and crude oil refining. Learn more on our Website
