However, the Member should note the policy regarding LPG-fuelled vehicle relates to operational fleet vehicles that are "eligible vehicles", which are essentially six-cylinder passenger vehicles and their utility variants. The requirement is that, where such vehicles are replaced at the end of their lease terms by another six-cylinder vehicles, then 25% of such vehicles should be LPG-powered. There are some exceptions allowed on a business case basis, a significant example being police vehicles. The most recent advice demonstrates in aggregate, the purchase of LPG powered vehicles has, at 27%, slightly exceeded the target. I refer the Member to tabled paper no 402 which details the purchase of vehicles purchased and leased through the State Fleet in 2003 and 2004.
