DFSK South Africa attended South Africa’s inaugural dedicated Autogas Workshop, hosted by the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association of South Africa (LPGSA) in association with the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI).
It is also supported by the World Liquid Gas Association and the workshop brought together industry stakeholders to discuss the safe and sustainable development of Autogas in South Africa.
DFSK South Africa was recognised by LPGSA Managing Director Gadibolae “Gadi” Dihlabi. The occasion marked an important milestone for DFSK, which is proud to be the first OEM in South Africa to publicly approve LPG Autogas conversions across its petrol vehicle range.
““I was impressed to see the progress Autogas is making in South Africa and encouraged by the commitment shown across the industry,” says Gina Giani, CEO of DFSK South Africa.
DFSK approved dual-fuel system allows vehicles to operate on either petrol or LPG. Customers who have already completed conversions have reported positive experiences with vehicle performance and fuel savings. Their real-world testimonials will form an important part of DFSK’s LPG campaign.
“We are proud to stand behind this technology,” added Giani. “Our customers’ experiences show that LPG is not simply a future concept, it is a practical solution that can help South African businesses reduce their operating costs today.”
