(3) - (5) There are no plans to convert the remainder of the vehicles to LPG. In this regard, the
Western Australian Government Fleet Policy and Guidelines
requires agencies to select 4-cylinder passenger vehicles unless there is an operational need for a 6-cylinder vehicle. Since 2001, the proportion of passenger 4-cylinder vehicles has risen from 26% to 60%. This has resulted in reduced carbon emissions and a significant cost saving to government.
The State also has an LPG policy that requires one quarter of eligible 6-cylinder vehicles to be LPG-powered. While this target has been met, agencies are increasingly embracing 4-cylinder passenger vehicles, as these generally provide greater economic and environmental benefits over 6-cylinder LPG vehicles.
