Insights from Ronny Martinez: A Vision for the Future

Ronny Martinez, CEO of Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions, brings over 15 years of experience in the autogas industry. Under his leadership, Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions has successfully serviced various vehicle autogas system brands, focusing on installation, technical support, and sales support for the propane industry. Martinez emphasizes the importance of reliable, EPA-certified vehicle platforms for customer satisfaction and the growth of the autogas market.

Martinez highlights the significant cost savings and environmental benefits of switching to propane autogas. Companies can save up to half a million dollars annually by using propane compared to gasoline. With an average annual usage of 5,000 gallons, the savings on fuel can offset installation costs, making the transition financially viable.

Martinez also notes the gradual approach many fleet owners take when adopting propane autogas. Initially, a small portion of the fleet is converted, and as the benefits become apparent, more vehicles are added. This incremental strategy helps fleet owners see the results and savings firsthand, building confidence in the switch to propane.

Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions’ business model relies on the success of each autogas customer project. By remaining independent of propane providers and system manufacturers, Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions can work with various companies to support its mission. The company’s motto, “Fueling the future of transportation together,” reflects its commitment to advancing the autogas market.

Recently, Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions secured a contract with a large franchise buying group with over 17,000 fleet vehicles nationwide. Martinez aims to continue collaborating with propane companies in the areas where new autogas fleet customers are located, facilitating the ongoing implementation of autogas across the country.

Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions seeks committed propane providers interested in operating on autogas within their own fleets. Martinez believes that by building strong partnerships and offering reliable, certified systems, Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions is creating the best autogas market the U.S. has yet to see.

Financial Advantages of Switching to Propane

There are multiple ways for businesses to save money while running fleets. One effective strategy is switching from gasoline to propane. Making the transition to using propane, which averages about $2 per gallon, can lead to substantial annual savings. As previously noted, with a typical fleet using around 5,000 gallons a year, the potential savings could amount to about $500,000 annually. This approach not only reduces fuel costs but can also cover vehicle expenses, making it a very financially sound decision. Transitioning from diesel to gasoline provides about a 10% savings, while switching from gasoline to propane can achieve savings between 30-50%. This clear financial advantage makes propane a smart and lucrative option for fleet owners. 

By focusing on these strategies, fleet companies can effectively manage their costs and enhance overall operational efficiency. Precise Alternative Fleet Solutions is dedicated to transforming fleet management through innovative, sustainable solutions that benefit businesses and the environment alike.
