A proposal to develop a “world-class” LPG conversion facility for new cars, creating up to 500 jobs, has won the backing of the Victorian Government this week.

The plan, proposed by Gas Energy Australia and the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce and first revealed in December last year, then found the support of Victorian Premier Denis Napthine.

Now, the state government has confirmed it will back a steering committee to further investigate the plan to launch a centre for the research, development and harmonisation of LPG vehicle manufacturing standards.

“Given that Ford, Holden and Toyota will cease car manufacturing in Australia at the end of 2017, we must seize all employment, production and regeneration opportunities in the automotive industry,” VACC Executive Director, David Purchase, said today.
