LIVONIA , Mich. (April 3, 2008) – Fleet owners that put the 2008 ROUSH® F-150 Liquid Propane Injection pickup into service will find the bed useful for hauling a different type of cargo than anticipated – the barrels of cash that could be received through tax credits via the utilization of propane as an alternate fuel. ROUSH has long been considered as Detroit ’s foremost Tier 1 advanced powertrain engineering company and the perfect candidate to develop a viable propane-powered vehicle.

The first credit is part of the 2005 Energy Bill which provides the purchaser of an alternative fuel vehicle a credit on the incremental cost of such a vehicle (incremental cost is defined as the price of the alternative fuel vehicle over the cost of a similar petroleum-powered vehicle).

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has established a cap on the maximum amount that can be credited based on the type, weight, and emissions of the vehicle. The ROUSH F-150 Liquid Propane Injection pickup qualifies for a maximum allowable credit of $2,500.

Additionally, and perhaps even more important to fleet operators who meet the qualifications, is a 50 cent per gallon credit on the propane used to power motor vehicles such as the ROUSH F-150 Liquid Propane Injection truck. Obviously, there are restrictions set by the IRS, and as with all tax ramifications it is advisable to research your specific needs and how the rules will affect your fleet business.

The ROUSH F-150 Liquid Propane Injection truck is designed and manufactured to operate solely on propane while providing the same horsepower, torque and drivability of an F-150 equipped with a gasoline-powered 5.4-liter, 3-valve Triton™ V-8 engine.

ROUSH has begun taking orders for the propane-powered F-150. The 2008 model year truck can be ordered, delivered and serviced through a nationwide network of select Ford dealers.

The ROUSH F-150 is available in Regular Cab, ....
