ELECTRICAL retailer Rumbelows is now using liquefied petroleum gas in over 400 of its 1,150 vehicles.
Its fleet includes Ford Escort estate cars used by service engineers and Luton Transit vans which deliver products to customers' homes from local distribution centres. All new vehicle replacements will be adapted to use the fuel.
The company is finding lpg more economical in use. "In addition to the fuel costs there is an added possibility that motor components such as oil filters, plugs, points, etc, will have a longer life, although this has yet to be proved," says transport manager, Jack Cook.
