Mountain Mobility will premier their new AutoGas-powered vehicles at Asheville's AutoGas fueling station. The alternative fuel project is the first of its kind for a paratransit system in the State of North Carolina.
Mountain Mobility has converted 10 vehicles to run on propane AutoGas. The project vehicle conversions and equipment were provided by Alliance AutoGas partners German Motor Werks and Blosman Gas with the support of Land of Sky Regional Council. The project was subsidized through ARRA grant funds.
The vehicles will make their debut:
Tuesday, November 9 at 10 a.m.
German Motor Werks AutoGas Fueling Station
1274 Sweeten Creek Road
The event is open to the public and will include brief statements from the Buncombe County Commissioners, a facility tour and two of the Mountain Mobility vehicles on display.
Mountain Mobility was established by Buncombe County in 1989 to provide transportation services for residents of Buncombe County. Originally intended to serve the transportation needs of a few core human service agencies, the system has grown to serve a wide variety of organizations, as well as provide general public transportation service outside the City of Asheville. Mountain Mobility operates 37 vans and five small buses.
