- Description
- South Africa is considered to be the economic power house of Africa, yet still lags behind when implementing energy efficient solutions. This can be attributed to bureaucracy and red tape. South Africa is the smallest importer and user of liquefied petroleum gas in Africa. Algeria is the biggest importer and consumer on a domestic scale. The use of liquid petroleum gas as an automotive fuel is not a new concept, either on this continent or the rest of the world. Vehicles have been driving on autogas for many decades and have seen various technological changes and improvements along the way. The latest autogas technology has been tried, tested and improved to be in line with Euro 5 standards. The purpose of the paper is to highlight all the benefits to motorists and to encourage the adoption of liquid petroleum gas (Autogas) as an automotive fuel. The literature review highlights the financial and environmental benefits, as well as identifying the barriers to adoption as well as the critical success factors for adopting autogas as a transport fuel. This resulted in the identification of six independent variables, namely cost, environmental impact, government legislation, infrastructure, public demand and product availability. These variables were then used to construct a conceptual framework to test the perceived outcome, which was the dependant variable.
