Autogas is more environmentally friendly than many fuels currently used worldwide. With significantly lower emission values compared to commonly used fossil fuels, autogas is widely used and promoted in many countries around the world to prevent environmental and air pollution.
Today, one of humanity's biggest problems is global warming, the main source of which is the waste gases emitted from motor vehicles, energy production, and industrial facilities. Because autogas has lower greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide, compared to other fossil fuels, it is an extremely beneficial fuel in preventing global warming. With a technically correct conversion, an autogas vehicle pollutes the air 12% less with CO2 emissions than a gasoline vehicle. Thanks to vehicles using LPG in our country, approximately 1 million tons less carbon dioxide emissions occur every year.
The autogas market, with a consumption approaching 2.5 million tons, constitutes approximately 70% of the LPG market in Türkiye. As of today, it is estimated that the Turkish autogas market consists of approximately 3 million vehicles. There are approximately 8,500 stations selling LPG in Turkey. Globally, this number is around 54,000. Turkey is the world's second largest market for LPG sales and ranks first in the world in terms of the number of LPG stations.
Concerns about the safety of LPG-powered vehicles have, over the years, been resolved thanks to the experience and technological advancements of companies specializing in LPG conversions. Today, LPG conversions, carried out according to standards, are just as safe as vehicles using other fuels. Akpet Gaz A.Ş. entered the sector in Turkey in 1995 when LPG began to be used in gasoline vehicles. Today, Akpet Gaz provides high-quality and reliable service to private and commercial vehicle owners with a network of over 400 stations spread throughout Turkey.
