First Propane Injected Ford F-250 Hits the Road - VIDEO ENHANCED

DETROIT - June 11, 2009: Ferrellgas and Roush will roll out the first propane injected Ford F-250 truck today. Motorsports legend Jack Roush, founder and chairman of the board of directors for ROUSH Enterprises, will present the keys to the new ROUSH Liquid Propane Injected F-250 to Ferrellgas President and Chief Operating Officer Steve Wambold at the ROUSH Automotive Collection facility in Livonia, Mich. The ceremony will take place on June 11 at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern) and will be followed by a news conference. Doors are open to anyone interested in attending the event. The ROUSH Automotive Collection is located at 11851 Market Street, Livonia, Mich., 48150.

The propane-powered 2010 Ford F-250 is manufactured in Livonia, Mich., by ROUSH Performance. Following the unveiling, Ferrellgas President and Chief Operating Officer Steve Wambold will take the truck on a "Road Show" through the Midwest on June 15-18. The Ferrellgas "Road Show" will make several stops as it travels from Michigan to Kansas to educate consumers about the economic and environmental benefits of using propane as a motor fuel.

"Our goal at Ferrellgas is to promote the use of propane as a certified green fuel, as an excellent way for vehicle and machine fleets to curb emissions and as a great way for fleet owners to lower vehicle expenses while receiving significant tax incentives," said Wambold, who will conduct similar "Road Shows" in other parts of the country this summer.

Propane is the most widely used alternative fuel today, powering more than 10 million vehicles around the world. Operating costs typically range from 5 percent to 30 percent less than those of a gasoline-powered fleet, and, on average, create 20 percent less nitrogen oxides, up to 60 percent less carbon monoxide and fewer particulate emissions, according to the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). Federal tax incentives are available through 2010 for both new alternative fuel vehicles and vehicles converted to run on an alternative fuel. These incentives include a credit of up to 50 cents per gallon for each gallon of alternative fuel used, as well as incentives for incremental vehicle costs and infrastructure credits. Many states also offer additional incentives.

Last November The Auto Channel attended and covered the first Propane Engine Fuel Summit in Detroit. We were the only media outlet to cover the entire event and to video tape the presentations. To watch the complete videos, including two different sessions with Roush CLICK HERE.
