LPG Conversion Facilities Proposed To Fill Ford, Holden Void In Vic And SA

A proposal has been presented to Victorian Premier Dennis Napthine at an industry roundtable discussion for the development of world-class LPG conversion facilities in Victoria and South Australia.

The Victorian Automobile Chamber Of Commerce (VACC) and Gas Energy Australia jointly prepared the proposal, aimed primarily at filling some of the void left by the looming departures of Ford and Holden from local manufacturing.

The proposed facilities would convert new vehicles to run on LPG or ‘dual-fuel’, including light and small cars, SUVs, light commercial vehicles and even hybrids before supplying them to the Australian market.
