What is the cost of a Propane-Powered Vision Bus?
The Propane-Powered Vision school bus is approximately $10,000-15,000 more than a similarly equipped diesel-powered school bus. While the initial cost is more, when you factor in the federal and state grants, and the fuel credits you may be eligible to receive, the up-front cost may be negligible. Additionally, the amount of money you save over time in fuel, maintenance and upkeep, is well worth the initial investment.

No. The LPI™ system replaces the gasoline fuel system with a propane system.
