Paul Oxford, business development manager at Autogas points to a recent House of Commons Transport Select Committee report, which criticised the way the government withdrew grants supporting the purchase of LPG vehicles too early.
The same report warned that the government risks a similar collapse in the electric vehicle market if lessons are not learned.
"As LPG is identified as one of a basket of fuels that can help the UK achieve its low carbon future, we'd urge the government to review its mistakes ... by offering similar incentives, investment and support for LPG as it currently does with electric vehicles," states Oxford.
"Similarly, it's essential that the motor industry also offers support and backing for LPG autogas as it's currently doing in favour of newer Euro 6 diesel technology," he adds.
Drivers of autogas LPG powered vehicles already have a network of some 1,400 refuelling points across the UK but, until recently, have not had any long-term government commitment to fuel duty reductions.
"Previous government fixations with CO2 targets, and the subsequent increase in diesel usage, mean that we have sleep-walked into a local air-quality time bomb caused by increases in NOx and particulates," adds Oxford.
"LPG autogas is a proven, readily available fuel source, which can help tackle this issue so we'd urge the government to follow the recommendations of the Select Committee report."
