Propane–Powered Trolleys Saving Money and the Environment

14/02/2007

We see more hybrid cars on the road but one Savannah trolley company is using propane gas to power part of its fleet saving money and energy. Old Town Trolley Tours got its first propane trolley seven years ago now they are up to four and they soon hope to convert all 23 trolleys to propane gas. People getting on one of the propane-powered trolleys didn't realize they were being driven around on propane gas until we told them. I think it's great said tourist Calvin Jones. Once we pointed it out they did notice some differences between this trolley and a diesel-fueled one. I know diesel it stinks and smokes a lot said Susan Fowler. Her husband Jeff Fowler added And the sound too there was a diesel next to us and when it started up it was awful loud.
