Environmentally Friendly, Propane Powered Trucks.
Doing our share for cleaner air.

General Air has 4 propane powered lift gate trucks. These trucks are fully powered by propane which is far cleaner than conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, converted propane vehicles are significantly cleaner than gasoline since they offer potentially lower toxic, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nonmethane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emissions. General Air is doing its part for a healthier environment.
